I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the meet.  Driving from Phoenix so barring any mechanical problems, will be there.  I like the idea of going to breakfast and all driving together to the show.    don

CAR COUNT AS OF 4/1/07

So far we have 20 comfirmed cars. I know there will be others that I do not have contact information. This could be the largest group of Pintos ever at any California Car Show.

MEDIA AND MAGAZINE INK.
I have been contacting several publications ( actually just started ). I have a responce from "Legendary Ford Magazine". They can not come down and make the show BUT would like us to submit an editoral with pictures and the will publish it in an up comming magazine. I have also contacted Hemmings Muscle Magazine. Jeff Koch, who did the article on the Red Pangra will be attending the show. My hope is that he can do some type of story for his magazine. I have written to Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords but have not heard back from them yet.

KNOTTS SHOW ORGANIZERS
I wrote to the organizers of the Knotts show and asked them two things. First, why don't Pintos have a " category ". As anyone who has registered knows, we have to submit our entry as " Other ford" I suggested that as we will be having nearly 30 Pintos in attendance I felt it was time to classify us as an official car entry.
The other thing I wanted to know is what we could do to be a sponsor? Stay tuned for more info.

Hey Kids! Long time since I have been here! Sorry for the absence. Any way, It has come to my attention that you pinto guys like to hang out and talk....so.... why don't we meet up at my place to clean cars and eat. Last year I invited no one and some how pintos appeared from the sky (seriously, people that I didnt know showed up). This year, what the hell! Come on by! My address is:

1026 South Valinda Ave.
West Covina, CA 91790.

Also, if you will be near by that morning before the show, all the folks near me will be caravaning to breakfast. Nothing quite like seeing 15 pintos on an empty freeway. Pleace get back to me on who will be coming over, I need to make sure I have enough meat to BBQ. You can wash, detail and clean you can in and out over hear. Come by as early as you want and leave as late as you want (so long as we get a good nights sleep). I have alot of room here. You all are also more than welcome to stay the night. Keep me posted and call for questions!
Alberto
626-221-7681
I have many Pintos, I like them....
#1. 1979 Wagon V6 Restored
#2. 1977 Wagon V6 Restored
#3. 1980 Sedan I4 Original
#4. 1974 Pangra Wagon I4 Turbo
#5. 1980 Wagon I4 Restored
#6. 1976 Bobcat Squire Hatchback (Restoring)
...Like i said, I like them.
...and I have 4 Fiats.

as for our own catagory, SCPOC (so cal probe owners) had to request their own catagory.  When they reached the required minimum to be considered (20 I think), they were granted their own catagory.  We should just need to request it and get our own next year.

I was wondering why you guys hadn't been making noise about a Pinto class. As I recall, it takes 15 entered cars to get a class, I know with this year's turnout that will make at least 2 maybe 3 years with enough cars. I am certain this year plus last year's turnout is more than the Probes (hey, I still enter mine even though I now hang out with you bunch of sickos more), so the minimum count has been met.

PHOTOGRAPHER NEEDED !!!!!!!

There is a need for someone who will not be busy talking to all the inquiring lookers. I would like to take A LOT of pictures for us and the magazines. Would someone please like to volunteer for this job?
Thanks

I will have my camera with me as always and will be taking pics all day long. I do wander around the show--though I'm skipping most of Mustangland these days (ok, once I've seen 20 mid-80's 'stangs I've had my fill), so I expect to hang around the oddballs area longer. After the show I can set up a gallery on my photo site for the event.

13 miles could be more troublesome that I thought.  It is still overheating after removing the t stat.  I could have blown the head gasket.  If necessary, I may put my new to me heads, intake and carb this saturday and try again.  If it does not work, then I will be there, but the car will not.  Wish me luck

Just a suggestion but you need to have some restriction in the Tstat housing to allow the watter to slow down long enough to let the radiator to dissipate the heat. I don't think you want to remover the Tstat. You might want to replace it with a large washer with a 3/4 hole in it.

Thanks Brad,

I will put in a lower temp t stat tonight and try again.  With any luck it will be ok.  I may need to also flush out the system.

GREAT NEWS CONCERNING OUR OWN CLASS.
Please read the email I received from the Ford Car club.

Brad,
 
 We are glad that you have organized the Pintos and have as many as 30 coming to the show. We would be happy to add a class for you if you can gather that much participation.
 To have a class added, we would like for you to join our council and participate in the Ford Car Club Council meetings. At this point the best way to accomplish that would be to attend the show in mass, have a representative visit the registration booth and ask to see Marc or Frank. We can get the info to you so one of your members can start attending the meetings and we can discuss adding a Pinto class.
 Hope to see you there!
 
 Marc Bodrie
 Fabulous Fords Chairman

Pintony left St.Louis Wednesday and is on his way to knotts. I expect he and Original74 will be arriving together or close.
Also, If any of you west coast guys have any trash bucket seats or dashcaps that are going to get tossed Pintony said he would haul them back this way. Thanx
Wish I could make it......Next year for sure.

Well, I got it running again with a new top end.  I did in fact have a blown head gasket.  >:(  So, now in place of the edelbrock intake, 2bbl carb and truck heads, I now have heads and 4bbl intake from a 69 torino/fairlane along with a edelbrock carb.  All items cost me a total of $7 and tremendously help my budget for the GRM 2k7 that I am entering this year.  Now to solve the oil leak from the rear main seal
