Hey Navy... I was working in the Camp Pendleton area today at Oceanside Harbor Dr. If you saw an orange CalTrans truck and some person hoeing the heck outta the weeds, that would've been me.  :)

ford assmb. plant in metuchen nj
« on: August 13, 2012, 02:06:53 PM »
Was at a 7-11 in NJ the other day,  Just across from the old ford plant.  ( now a vacant lot )  A few doors down is the UAW (still open )  A union rep came in and yelled out  " who owns 78 Bobcat " ?  Afrter talking to him , saying  how    i have a 75 Pinto  Runabout  and am working  restoring a wagon now.  It  turns out the Pinto and bobcats were all  made in the EDISON / METUCHEN Plant  . Along with the Mustang And Ranger , the plant opened in 1948 and closed in 2004 ( demolished 2005 )  I got to thinking ,  This would be a outrageous place to have a pinto meet    What  do you all think  will be willing to work in it

Just think about it a line of pintos going down US 1  ( oldest road in us, runs from MA to FL )   to the old ford plant .  I think the town would love it, went through hard times after plant closed.

I would be up a for a car show, but two drives in one year would be too much for me. It is a shame the plant isn't there anymore.
