SMBC Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) This was kind of a labor of love, I started with the MPC Pinto kit and widened the body and moved the cutout in the hood back. The hood scoop was changed later in the final build, The chassis is a tube chassis built around the stock interior tub, then moved the engine location back. The chassis was kit bashed and big slicks tucked under the rear end. The ride height and stance were adjusted as the model was built. Edited December 6, 2013 by SMBC

madhorseman Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 One of my all time favorite cars!! It Looks great Chris, that paint job is flawless.
W-409 Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 That paint job looks like glass! Really nice work with it, also the decals are looking great. I like that shade of silver on Front Wheels, too, and your engine detailing is spectacular.
PappyD340 Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 Exceptionally NICE build Chris, paint looks outstanding, and you gotta love those big meats on the rear since they are half the size of the car, great job I like it!!
