[@michaelhintzmikesminiature1812]

I never bought one of these. Weird all the anomalies All I can say is you did a Good job with what you had to work with. Thanks for sharing Chris..

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Thanks, Mike! It was a complete beast to do

[@JethrosGarage-op4bo]

The Pinto looks good in green, nice work!

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Thanks ! Never can go wrong with little John Deere green!!

[@moparnut6286]

the four hole slots I'm like what! crazy pinto😅🤣😂

[@thescalemodelcarguychannel8681]

Still looks good despite the problem Chris ❤

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Thank you. It was a beast to build

[@bigeddie1231]

You absolutely right about that kit. I did the custom version a lot of putty and a lot of time sanding on that front end yours turned out very cool like the color we do have John Deere tractors on the farm. Lol. Very cool, sir.

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

I was looking at doing the custom version, figured it was gonna more work than work than worth it. Not a great kit

[@modelcars2978]

Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to keep these issues in mind for when I get to mine.🤟🤠👍

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Just giving my honest review of the kit. I've seen some real cool builds online of it, mine definitely isn't one of them

[@davidchin350]

Nice green machine Chris, like those fat rear tires. Don't get rear ended with that stock bolt and gas tank set up😮

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Thanks David! I do like the tires in this kit. I don't remember what movie it was, some comedy, tank is moving at 1 mph and they rear end a Pinto that's randomly parked in the battlefield and it blows them both up. It was a funny scene

[@smithgroove945]

I like it. My friend and I would use his Pinto as a fishing jeep. Worked great. I like that 4 banger.

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Thanks! The car is so ugly that it almost has a charm to it, I bet they were a lot of fun back in the day!!! Makes for good memories!!!

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

Doesn't look to bad dispite the problems.
Thanks for sharing.

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Thanks! Not my best or favorite build but I can now take it off my to-do list

[@redbarnmodelworks1115]

Cool little build!

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Thanks. Not my best or favorite build but I can say I attempted it!

[@felixculpa6240]

WTF AMT? LOL
sometimes I wonder what those kool kats at amt were smoking when they put some kits together, bless their hearts♡

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Lol. Sometimes I build these older kits and wonder how this hobby has lasted as long as it had. Thank goodness for better and newer toolings

[@marsgarage8217]

Looks good..
Sometimes yo get a great kit, Sometimes you get a bad one.
Today you got a bad one, next one will be better.

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

This was definitely one of the not so greats. At least I can say I built it finally.

[@ramblers69]

Doesn't look bad with all of the issues Chris

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Thank you! It was a little bit of a beast to build

[@modelcar1589]

You got though it good job 👍🏿😮

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Thanks. It was a bear doing. No where near as cool as yours

[@TI4438]

Much respect for just finishing it. This is a turd of a kit. Had I not put a lot of effort into the body I would have shitcanned mine.

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

It was a beast to build. Always wanted to do it, at least now I can say I did.

[@JosephPercel]

R U serious?

[@hortonshotrodshop2003]
