Pinto Car Club of America

Yes,I`m still learning about the pinto... I`m trying to lighten up my 75 wagon and was thinking of fiberglass body parts but all I`ve found is for a hatch or trunk models.. Nothing listed for the wagon..
What will fit between the hatch/trunk car and wagons.

The sheetmetal, from the doors forward. HOWEVER, the window frames are different on the wagons.

Window frames are diff... Can they be changed ease?
I`m also looking at some fiberglass bumpers for a 72, is it hard to mount them on a 75?

I would think you would need to know if a stock frame or a custom one is used in the F/G door and go from there. The frames don't seem to be easily removed from a stock door.

The problems you have with the early bumpers will be is that you will need the front and rear valence panels to fill the voids under the bumpers, and the radiatior support will get in the way of the front valence panel. One other thing; the gas tank will hang down below the rear valence and look odd.

They are right about the door frames being different.  It is my understanding that the rear of the window frames are bigger due to different shape of the body. 

As for mounting older parts to your car, well anything is possible but realistically it will take a lot of doing to make it look right.

But having said that, it is your car so do what makes you happy.

I have a fiber glass rear hatch that will fit.  $100.00, located in middle Tennessee
