73 Pinto

Will the front passenger side fender off of a 78 ford pinto bolt up to a 73 pinto? If not, what years are compatible with the 73 pinto?

I saw a mint orange pinto driving down the road yesterday, hubcaps and all. It was cool. A 16 year old kid was driving it, I don't think he thought it was cool.

There's one around here, a brown 72 possibly a 71, and it's perfect ORIGINAL and the old lady still drives it...

Hello 89 coupe sub, are you the one with the pinto wagon? If you are what do you have for rear suspension? Those are some great pictures of your wagon. What do you run the 1/4 or 1/8 mile in? Thanks.[img]/forums/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Yes, that is one of my cars but I have nothing more than a stock suspension. No traction bars or adjustable shocks or anything. Here is a link to what I did to the suspension and it's ET/MPH:
http://bbs.hardcore50.com/vbulletin/...ad.php?t=32529
I will be installing some Cal Tracs to try to control the wheelstands so I don't waste so much power going up instead of just foreward plus I will be getting a better cam that DOESN'T make most of its power below the RPM the converter stalls to. BTW, it is a street car I drive a lot on the street and handled many hours of cruising and idling in gear in bumper to bumper traffic at Woodward Dream Cruise last year in Detroit last summer. Despite many attempts to pull the front in front of the Woodward crowds, I was unsuccessful but I did get yelled at alot by the police, no tickets given out though [img]/forums/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]
