Title: New Spoiler/Air Dam
Post by: map351 on September 04, 2012, 02:29:22 PM
Hey gang

New spoiler/air dam for the 1971/78 Pinto & Bobcat, Derrick/Reeves1 was kind enough to let me use his Bitchin Spoiler from his Pro Street Boss 302 powered Pinto! I have the mold made and the first test piece is out.

Mike,
These look really cool... I mean really cool...  We could even coin the phrase that our Pintos have been 'Mapped'...
Too corney? I like it...

I have stickied this thread for everyone, good stuff

I should be able to pick mine up in person. I'm about 2 hours from you.
 
I can also pick them up for anyone else who lives close to me or lives near the malls I deliver to in Ohio, Michigan or New York & can meet me along my route to get them.

You can use Panel Bonding Adhesive or a few rivets & a simple bracket on the hood latch support.

Post by: map351 on September 12, 2012, 08:22:44 AM
On price I have some resin left enough to make 8 or 9  to be safe I'll make 8 at $85.00 each + shipping. I'll need to buy resin so the next batch I'm sure will closer or over the $100.00 mark a drum of resin is knocking on $1500.00 today!

I did a quick check on boxes & shipping I don't think I can ship via UPS they have to go Greyhound to keep the shipping cost down.

Check FedEx rates. I shipped a Dart front pan to Washington state for 22 bucks about 18 months ago.
 
I'm definitely in for 2 of them. I don't need them till next year but I can pay you for them & either pick them up if I'm out your way or catch you in Canfield in the spring....
Title: Re: New Spoiler/Air Dam

I've been waiting to hear from him too. Mike, if you read this I'm going to need 1 of your front bumper covers in addition to the 2 air dams. I finally have the plan for all 4 cars.
Title: Re: New Spoiler/Air Dam
Post by: 78 Noble Steed on October 09, 2012, 07:44:41 PM
I'd like to see the bumper cover too! I have 3 pintos now and plan on buying a couple cowl induction hoods as well...anyone have a cowl hood on their cars? And if so what size and brand? Don't want to go too big cause they don't look right to me. Was thinking around 4".

How much work did it take to ready those fenders? I have the other set & it doesn't look like they are gel coated very well.
 
Are you going to make Canfield this year? I still need the airdams off you.

The 76 has the short fenders so the length should be fine you might have to trim a little off the top of the spoiler just under the bumper IF there's a Clarence issue.

Save me one of the air dams & I'll Paypal you or bring the money when I grab the wagon & drop off the glass fenders. I need to have you look at my glass hood too. It has a small chip at one corner & glass isn't my specialty.
