Very nice car! I like how clean and hi-tech it is. Good work! Love the door modifications to remove the window frames to!

Thanks for the comments. Its been quite a learning curve, and I know it'll be worth all the effort. Modern technology married to an old school ride. Yesterday the UPS driver that delivers to my shop brought someone with him and I asked him if his helper was in training and he said no "I brought him to see the Pinto". He had him on call waiting for us to have a delivery. Wow.
