• blupinto: Alberto, there's a keen '75 Runabout in your neck of the woods on craigslist. I wouldn't mind having it myself! It has a vinyl-top! It's only $600 I think!
  Today at 04:17:50 PM
• dga57: jaymescarroll,  Since you only have one new crack, it may be possible to have it repaired.  Body shops have long repaired and sealed cracks in dashes from accidents.  I'm not familiar with exactly the technique they use, but it would be worth looking into.  Don't think it would be of any help for the more common severe cracking on cars of this age.  Let us know if you come up with an answer!

• pintogirl: Sorry for suggesting it! My bad!
  Today at 01:40:17 PM
• popbumper: Oops, Jaymes, don't bother posting in "General Questions", you won't get much. Do a search on the site for "dash pad" to get as much info as you can. In short, there are NO easy fixes for these, unfotunately, though some have recovered with vinyl, covered with a plastic cap, or restored the whole thing (as I have - with mixed results).

• popbumper: Jaymes:
  Today at 01:37:12 PM
• pintogirl: I can say I have no idea how to fix the dash. I would put your question in the "General Questions" section and see if you get more help there!
  Today at 01:23:25 PM
• jaymescarroll: Well it's happened...I finally got my first crack in the dash of my "74. Can any offer suggestions for a professional fix and how to remove the dash?? It's the olive green color...someth ing you don't see around anymore. Thanks!

The Concours d'LeMons would like to extend a special invitation to all Pinto, Bobcat and Mustang II owners!!

Due to surprisingly enthusiastic demand Concours d?LeMons will stage three shows dedicated to the Oddball, Mundane and truly Awful of the automotive world:


Concours d'LeMons Box Wine Country Classic
Held in conjunction with the 24Hours or LeMons Sears Pointless race.
March 7, 2010
Infineon Raceway
Sonoma, CA


Concours d'LeMons Atlanta
Held in conjunction with the Classic Motorsports Mitty 2010
May 2, 2010
Road Atlanta, GA

Guest Judges - Peter Brock, Bill Warner (Amelia Island Concours Founder) and Tim Suddard (Classic Motorsports Publisher)


Concours d'LeMons Monterey
The eyesore of Pebble Beach Automobile Week
Aug 14, 2010
Toro Regional Park
501 Monterey-Salinas Highway 68
Monterey, CA

The inaugural Concours d?LeMons show in Monterey, CA was the run-away favorite of the Pebble Beach Automobile Week 2009. LeMons aficionado?s nation-wide requested more venues to revel in bad design and poor mechanical execution, so we are packing up the whole freak show and taking it on the road. Luminaries of the automotive will serve the role of capricious Guest Judges as they risk their reputations for bribes of food and cheap booze. Chincy trophies are awarded for classes such as Needlessly Complex Italian, Rueful Britannia, Bad(ge) Engineering and Most Dangerous. Presentation of the coveted ?Worst of Show? trophy culminates the disorganized award ceremonies.


About the Concours d?LeMons:
The Concours d'LeMons celebrates the Oddball, Mundane, and truly Awful of the automotive world. It?s the anti-concours for owners and spectators that don?t take themselves, their cars or the car show world seriously. The same miscreants that brought you Billetproof and the 24Hours of LeMons founded the show in 2008, pulled off the surprise hit of Pebble Beach Auto Week in 2009 and have continued and expanded the joke into 2010.  For more information please visit: http://www.concoursdlemons.com or call Alan Galbraith at 916-207-4645.

[Pintopower]

I will be there in Monterey again this year with a few of my Fiats and a few of my Pintos. I already booked a room on Cannery Row...can't take the money with you when you die after all!

[redmustangman3]

It's on my calendar for Aug.14th, 2010 in Monterey. This show is a must-FUN-FUN-FUN. Joe in Morgan Hill, CA

[blupinto]

Too bad there isn't one in SoCal. 

[skunky56]

Alan, the Concours is the best show I've been to. Count me in at Sears Point and Toro Park.

participants at both will get to take their cars on a couple of laps around Infineon and Road Atlanta respectively.. . at a stately pace. All the normal Concours d'LeMons shenanigans will be encouraged, bribing judges, dressing in car complementary costume and general irreverence for all things stuffy concours.

Looks like we will be taking the Ghost to the Infeneon  show!! That is if she is excepted!! LOL I read that you have to send a pic of the car in, and then they will let you know if you get in or not!

Who else is going??

[blupinto]

Kimmy, for a minute I thought you misspelled Inferno,  like the Fab Fords show last year (102 degrees)!  LOL!  I was looking all over the Fab Fords entry form looking for where it said Must Send Picture Of Car Before It Can Be Considered. Whew! LMAO!!!


Choptop, I will rejoice if 2011 SoCal CdL happens!

[pintogirl]

Sent my money and pic! Got the official "yer in" email!!!! Now I just have to wait till March!!!

[PintoZeal76]

Woo Whoooo! Sonoma ! 

[skunky56]

Sears Point here we come!!!!!

[Pangra74]

[pintogirl]

Shoot,

Joe

I would try emailing them!! Never hurts to ask!!

[Pangra74]

Maybe I will. Problem is, I just put in an Mustang II 8" rear and it has a loud whine. May still be drivable though.

Joe

You have a month to get it figured out!! LOL

[pintosopher]

Joe,
 Don't be drivin' that until you read my reply to your post on the Noise..

 Pintosopher

[Pangra74]

Well, they said I could still register for the Infineon show, so I will plan on being there. I dropped off my 8" center section to have it repaired/rebuilt, so all should be good.

Joe

[Pangra74]

OK, I'll be in Sonoma!! I'll try to do Monterey as well. Haven't been to the aquarium in awhile.

Joe

[Pangra74]

Got the 8 inch in and running quiet and smooth, see you in Sonoma.
