I like the rake as it is. Personally, I like the space filled with a bit more tire, but for driveability, you'll probably want to leave it as is.

This car is sweet... I just saw it at a local car show, and it looked better in person than it did in the pix.

The interior looks beautiful, and gave me some ideas on what to do with my Pinto when I get it.

All the detail in this car makes it great to look at over and over.  :)

When I saw the car on Saturday he told me the front half was from an 85 Mustang, anf the rear half from an 85 XR4Ti ... It looks great in person... you cant even tell the console came from 2 different cars... Harley did a real good job on the car, you cant see it in the pix, but in the cargo area it's done up in the same color vinyl as the interior with Pinto in raised letters.

Looks sweet.

will the 77 rallyes real spoiler fit on a 71?

     I don't beleave that the rear spoiler from a RALLYE will work on a 71 modle.The 80 has a glass hatch and i think the 71's had trunks.They just bolt up different.

Although most of the later Pintos were hatchbacks, ALL years were available with a trunk.
