I just realized I never posted up any photos.

Today cruising on the Kancamangus Highway up north with my friend's 81 Eagle:

I'm 18 and he's 19, so we got a lot of funny looks and comments.  And a few people gave us thumbs up on the main highway.  The Kancamangus is a windy mountain road, lots of fun - especially with CBs.  I need a proper antenna mount, though.  Probably when I build a roof rack.

Out shooting before a cop rolled up a couple months back:

He let us go after talking to us about guns and the Pinto for a bit.

And when I got it:



Looks a little worse now, but that's because I sprayed some Rust Reformer on it to stop spots of surface rust from spreading before I have a chance to get to them.

 for some reason it will not Flip on photobucket lol. but this is his 4x4 toy.

That's a cool 4X4

Hows that 80 coming along John?

It's coming along slowly.  Got the aftermarket Powermaster alternator installed and wired a few weeks back, rebuilt the carb and converted it to an electric choke.  It's got a 76 motor, so it had a water choke.  I want to get the much less rusted passenger door I have ready to go on soon and get to work on the rear quarters.  I'm afraid I'm gonna have to cut the fenders off to see how the inner fenderwell is and make any necessary repairs, then weld them back on.  Might wait til winter break and find a friend who will let me use their garage for like a week.  I have maybe a day a week to work on it between school and work.  Also want to replace the cat with pipe this weekend, pretty sure it's plugged.

Still gets me everywhere though, albeit slowly on the highway.  Gonna have to park it for the winter in the next month, I'm not gonna let it see snow and salt.
