    Really like the way you present your video. Concise, yet detailed. This kit really brings back memories of the real car.

    Been ages since I've seen a Ford Pinto! Now I have to build this kit!!

    I remember this beautiful Pinto. Awesome job 💯👍💙

  • @monsterhobbiesonlinestore

    Looks great! nice to see that you gave the grill a "Black Wash". Not many people do that and a solid chrome grill doesn't always look right.

    Great!! Or anything with a monster flair. Or maybe the Polar Lights "monster rods" re-releases. I would gladly send you one of the kits. Let me know & keep the builds coming. Thanks Doug.

    nice....those MPC kits were sooo kool

  • @oldchevysonthefoothills694

    Thanks for making this video, if it wasn't for this video I probably wouldn't have gotten this kit. As of right now, this is my favorite model kit. I made a video of mine.

    I agree with you on the "kit review"! I can take the parts out of the box and look at them myself, although it may help me decide beforehand if I even want to bother with the kit based on the amount of detail. If I like your build, I'll duplicate it. If not, I'll at least take some tips from it. In the case of this build, I would have gone with the 4 cylinder engine, but only because I'm a stock freak! I just love old stuff the way it came from the factory! Detroit used to put out some weird stuff! Another home run!

    This model kit of the Ford Pinto wagon is almost an 80s classic.

      Right On Replicas I only saw the one, and was hooked. .. I ended up with a 73 Vega instead of the Pinto, but they still have a big place in my memory

    • @RightOnReplicas
      @RightOnReplicas  Před 7 lety +1

      Vega's were cool too Rick, especially the Cosworth Vega. That could have been developed into a wild street machine! -Doug

    I can't find any information on real version of the 1979 ford pinto pony express?

      Joe - It was a pretty rare special graphics version of the Ford Pinto Cruising Wagon. -Doug

    • @joedirt7091
      @joedirt7091 Před 7 lety +1

      So i am guessing that it came from ford with the straight four? Was there a aftermarket tuning company stuffing 351 engines in them or was this being done by back yard mechanics? Do know how many were sold with this really rare graphics option?

    • @RightOnReplicas
      @RightOnReplicas  Před 7 lety +1

      Joe - I don't remember any of them having factory installed V-8's. I Don't know how many were sold. That may have been a mega-dealer option package. -Doug

      @billyricker3432 Před 4 lety +1

      1979 Ford Pinto came with a 2.3 litre straight-4 engine as standard equipment, 2.8 litre V-6 engine was optional in 1979.

    The engine that comes with the kit that's already assembled can you put that inside of the pinto instead of building the one that comes with it

    • @RightOnReplicas
      @RightOnReplicas  Před 4 lety

      JM, Both motors come un-assembled. You choose either the 4 or 8 cylinder engine. PS - please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
