PINTO DELIVERY ON A '55 BEL-AIR GASSER BASE.
PINTO IS A SHORT WHEELBASE CAR... HOG THE FRONT WHEEL WELLS FORWARD, REAR WHEEL WELLS TOWARD THE REAR...
.

HAD TO SHORTEN, NARROW AND LOWER THE ENGINE/INTERIOR FROM THE '55 BEL-AIR.
'55 BASE HAS TO BE SHORTENED BOTH ENDS AND NARROWED BOTH SIDES ...
.

OUGHT TO ROCK WITH SOME '05 FTEs.

Wow, about all I can do to these cars is drill out the rivets , put weight in it , lube the wheels and put it back together. I am such a slacker......

When I take a 1:1 car in for repair about all I can tell them is, "It's broken." Repair shops love to see me come thru the door. Not mechanically inclined but I love cars of all types.

Stroller, Don't sell yourself short....keep at it and you too will be making more advanced customs. You are off to a good start lots of folks don't even drill them apart.

Smitty, as usual great work!
