Mike has put a lot of time and hard work into making these for us that want a vintage body kit for our Pintos and it shows. The quality is fantastic and since I provided the original NOS kit to make the molds from and have seen and compaired the results I am really happy Mike was willing to do this for us. He's also working on fiberglass bumper replacements for the late model Pintos.

These kits or parts can be ordered as wanted...

rear spoiler for hatchback or sedan = all years

sides and rear spats for hatchback, sedan and now wagons (never before available)

and the front spoiler for 1971 - 1973 only

contact Mike at 73turbopinto @ gmail.com for more info

Why did he stop posting on here?

Cookieboystoys · « **Reply #213 on:** October 26, 2011, 11:05:39 AM »

Mike hasn't stopped posting, he's still doing his thing and I'm only trying to help get the word out that these are available.

I purchased the NOS Hot Pants Kit that Mike made the molds from to remake these kits. I wanted one for my car and found it impossible to find them at the time. Once I was able to secure a kit I begged and pleaded with Mike to make these available to all that wanted one and so I help spread the word so I don't feel guilty for begging and pleading with him to remake these for everyone...

Am I right to assume that this repro kit is still available? Also, I couldn't help but notice that the front spoiler wasn't in the video. Only the rear spoiler and side pieces were shown. It's not a complete kit without the front spoiler and realistically that's the most important part.

yes it's still available, the front spoiler wasn't available when the video was made but is now... I have one. But if you have a 1975 as your name might suggest the front spoiler will only work for 1971 - 1973, this has been mentioned before, with the larger bumpers and changes made in 1974 and up the front spoiler will not work with the newer body style. However all other parts to the kit will fit and work for all years.

Mike can be reached at 73turbopinto@gmail.com or 724-845-2860

hey buddy how come you have john atkinsons mk1 cortina estate car as your profile picture.....

Cookieboystoys · « **Reply #220 on:** October 06, 2013, 11:38:56 AM »

just wanted to repost this, recently a couple people have contacted "me" to get a kit....

I don't make or sell them, that is all on Mike.

Mike is the one making and selling them.

I only helped to get the word out and provided the original kit for Mike to make the molds.

You'll have to contact Mike if you want Pinto fiberglass

He is also making the front air dam like on my car now.

I get to pick mine up in MT in a few days !

Pinto5.0 · « **Reply #225 on:** October 08, 2013, 08:07:55 PM »

I wondered what was happening with the air dams. I have had the money set aside for a year.

I think if Mike wants to put a Vega (God forbid) on his profile pic, I would stand by him. He is very important to our little community... Map Man...

Brian, did your kit come from Mike? For the many years I have seen your fantastic pinto, I did not know that... Did you lengthen the rails when you stretched it?

Scott Brian got the Hotpants from me he's a just over a few hills, I made a long front section because of the LWB the side skirts were short. The front spoiler is the Epoxy resin experiment.

Mike! Do you ever plan on making a 79/80 Rally front spoiler. That seems to be a very rare item. Hope you do.

Thanks Keith for letting me use your spoilers for the mold making. I forgot you had the fender like Derrick you could have brought them too.

Vega? hadn't seen one in YEARS until about a month ago while driving towards Alamagordo NM....there was one sitting in a used car lot with a variety of other unusual cars, and it was a PANEL WAGON. Wow, that was neat to see, only because I believe they are more rare than Pintos!!
