looks like SMS only goes up to 1975. Would the colors be the same for the later models?

Vacation was great and of course too short.  I also got some more good news on the health front.  My blood test for liver functions came back normal.  Why is this good news?  Because in all the years they have been doing this NOBODY has ever come back with a normal test, they are all elevated.  Life is good.
 
Ok to Pinto stuff.  I need an installation tool for a 5/16th nutsert.  Anybody got any ideas?????  I need to install the nutserts for the installation of the fuel cell.  The tools I have found were a hundred dollars and I need to do 4 nutserts.... Anybody have one I can borrow????
 
OBTW: I sold my other project 94 ranger to concentrate soley on the pinto to get it done....
 
peace

Jim,
 
Welcome back from vacation (hope you had a great time) and congratulation s on the blood test results.  That is cause for celebration!!!
 
Sorry I don't have the tool you need.  If I did, you'd be welcome to borrow it.  Maybe someone here will be able to help you out.  Hope so anyway.
 
Take care!

Well just to prove the old adge that nothing is as easy as it looks.  i had the rear center section for my 8" done professionally and we finally got to put it in.  I thought it was going to be a slam dunk but no.  when we road tested the car there is a rythmic sound in the rear.  We think it is the spider gears, but not sure.  so out comes the new rear gear and in goes the old gear.  what  waste of money i don't have.  I will take the rear back to the people who did it and we shall see what happens.
 
I guess progress is not always forward....
 
peace

If your mechanic is a stand up guy he should go through the gears again for free. I had a set of gears in my Duster that had a rythem to 'em for years. Some gears are just a little off but they will last forever.
I've wanted a V-8 early trunk Pinto since I was 17. At 46 I'm finally going to build a '73 Sedan...... My '80 hatch will become my son's 1st car.

Agreed, I am pretty sure that will happen with the gears and I will return them as soon as my world slows down a little.  However the real issues is the cost of R&R the rear gears twice has killed the budget for this year.  I am real close to putting it up for the winter.  maye even next weekend. 
 
Such is how it goes sometimes, there is alwyas next year........ :-\

Well it is that time again as I just put the Pinto up on stands and covered for the winter.  Seems like I spun my wheels alot this year and didn't get much done.  Like I said there is always next year.
 
Just a teaser and NOT a Pinto but something i just picked up.  it is a 1950 Ford F2 [3/4 ton] pickup that is mounted on a 1986 S-10 chassis that has had a V8 conversion.  Absolutely a ball to drive.  it's main purpose in life besides putting a smile on my face is to drive it.  Nothing fancy just a driver.  I drove it back 175 miles when i bought it.  Got lots of edges which is all the better as i can then make it mine.
 

 
Now to tie it back into the Pinto, I can be driving the truck while i work on the Pinto so i won't get frustrated when i am working.  But you thought I couldn't tie it back together with the Pinto.   :drunk:

Interesting... I wouldn't have thought a truck as beefy as a 1950 Ford F2 would fit on a Chevy S-10 chassis.  Looks like it would be a fun vehicle to drive and be seen in!  Enjoy!

Hi all. I just wanted to let you know that I am alive.  Been going through more chemo for the last 3 months and have been away from it all.  As some of you know I work outside so it hasn't really changed much except it is minus 4 right now with a wind chill of minus 25 degrees.

The Pinto is all covered and awaiting spring as I am too.

take care
jim

Thanks for the update Jim
 
I am sure everyone agrees with me when I say we are all glad to hear you're still kickin. You will beat this, as you have a great attitude & that is a majority of recovery. Here's hoping things keep going well & you're able to get back to the project noce it warms up

Thanks all I appreciate the thoughts....  It is snowing......  again!!!

That old F2 has moved to the top of the list to get the front end wiring done before spring.  Then at that point it becomes a driver only and I can get back to working on the Pinto.  In case you are wondering, a friend who has a body shop offered the space to work on it this winter.  Haven't been able to do much but I am getting there.

it's job will be the stress reliever from the Pinto...  LOL
