Title: Re: How many are going ?
Post by: JonzWagon on March 17, 2009, 11:13:56 AM: Of course I will be there, can't miss all the comments from the Mustang owners. Not to mention the "I had one of those" replies from the public. And that line of Pintos of different colors and conditions is very impressive. But the important thing is the Pinto owners that go there, are a bunch of GREAT people, intelligent, friendly and willing to help one another. And if you notice there is a very great age difference, from very young to old (me). Hurray! Keep those Pintos running!! ::)

Post by: blupinto on March 17, 2009, 10:08:59 PM: What breakfast? Did I miss something? ???

Post by: Wittsend on March 17, 2009, 11:50:42 PM: I'm in a race between:
"You must have your registration form postmarked by April 6 and received shortly after."

And:
If replacing the head gets the '73, Turbo Pinto wagon running decently and that can be accomplished before April 6th, then yes, I plan on being there.

----------------------------------------------------------

I started porting my replacement head today. I wasn't intending to port it, but if I'm putting a head on it simply doesn't get to the car without passing the grinder. ;D

The donor car engine ran crappy. I knew that. I tried to get by on the cheap and didn't replace the head bolts. Strange though, no water lose or bubble. No smoking. But #2 only has 80 PSI, the others in the 140-150 PSI range. I put oil in the cylinder, but still only 80 PSI so I'm assuming (and hoping) it's not rings.

Anyway, hopefully next week I'll have the ported, roller cammed head on and be running much better than I was. If not I'll still probably go, but without my Pinto. :'(

Post by: Fred Morgan on March 19, 2009, 06:54:13 PM: Tom do it the aircraft way on #2, get it at top dead center on compresion pump air into cylinder listen to intake then go back to exhaust pipe then take oil cap off, so what ever 1 you hear air leaking thats youre problem. Fred :)
Title: Re: How many are going ?
Post by: Wittsend on March 19, 2009, 08:10:45 PM: You know Fred, I tried that. But my "over 50" ears either can't hear it or I hear it everywhere.

The head is ported, the chamber is cleaned up the valves are done. I just need to get the head set gaskets and find some time next week to swap out the head. Hopefully that is the major issue. I ran codes and nothing important was found.

We will see next week.

Title: Re: How many are going ?
Post by: Dan on March 22, 2009, 01:21:45 PM: Hi Brad, Should arrive about 7:30 from S.D. and unload at Sears. I'll be at Denny's? for breakfast bout 8:00 and then we can caravan into the show. It's a blast to see everyone look when your bringing 40 pintos to the show. The restaurant is on Beach about 1/4 mile west of Knotts, lets see I should make it there in 11 seconds. Ha. Dan Blue Pinto. :accident: :accident:
Title: Re: How many are going ?
Post by: blupinto on March 22, 2009, 07:39:10 PM: Me for sure and possibly a friend.
Title: Re: How many are going ?
Post by: pintogirl on March 22, 2009, 10:33:10 PM: I just read the Registration form and it says that they start letting cars in at 7am and no cars are allowed in after 10am. So that means we would have to be done eating breakfast and on our way to the show before 10am!! Wouldn't it?

Title: Re: How many are going ?
Post by: Pintosopher on March 24, 2009, 01:04:49 PM: Sounds like a real party :drunk: Does anyone have a total vehicle count to date for us Absentees who are metaphorically tied up in the Back pasture? Brad? I'll need to see a Wifi video compellation in real time so I won't feel compelled to to break my hobbles and gallop off in a southerly direction :laugh:

Ah , My Dakota ME (Motorsports Edition) is looking mighty tempting for a banzai run to LA-La land, Where's my plastic ? CHARGE!

Ooops, the stablemaster has my bucket of Oats, time to calm down.. Neiggh!

Pintosopher, a horse of a different color..
Title: Re: How many are going ?
Post by: blupinto on March 25, 2009, 11:15:28 PM: I think it's time to break out of the ol' corral. Doesn't running around in circles get a little old? Stop spinning your wheels and breathe in that fresh air of Freedom... who knows... the pastures in the southland might be greener, and maybe the holder of your beckoning bucket of oats might need to escape the hobbles too. Just a thought...only a thought... ;) :fastcar: :tgif: Thank Goodness I'm Free!
Title: Re: How many are going ?
Post by: Pintosopher on March 26, 2009, 11:51:23 AM: Becky,
I would love to debate the concept of "free". Many wise people have defined it in the past. "Gas, Grass , Or A** no one rides for free" A free republic (Hah)
Free energy (Nah) Free will (maybe) Free Willie (Woah!) Free Range (Yah,good Chicken & Beef)
Free to attend, (subjective, open to interpretation) Free to converse,(Hmmm another human challenge, Flirtation is a prosecutable offense!)

Free to abstain, (not if Big Brother has his way!)

Hmmmmm , more oats, all organic, steel cut , with Fresh molasses..

Neigh ,frrbbb, neigh... Ohh Wilbur...

Title: Re: How many are going ?
Post by: blupinto on March 26, 2009, 12:58:38 PM: I was merely trying to convince certain pintosophers to come celebrate Pintos at Knotts, not start a debate about freedom. Nothing- NOTHING in life is free. So I'll be happy with what I have... the sun, my pets, my home, my Pinto. :D
Title: Re: How many are going ?
Post by: Pintosopher on March 26, 2009, 03:41:03 PM: Dearest Becky,
Yee shall always be blessed if you have the presence of mind to be thankful for what you have.
This old horse ain't done trottin' yet, so be mindful of your perceptions.. Humor and Irony are sometimes in the same breed of horse, but I catch your drift :-)

Laugh even when its enough to make you weep..

Post by: Fred Morgan on March 26, 2009, 05:34:02 PM: I just made reservation at an RV park. Anyone need a place to stay FREE I have 2 more beds up front with extra TV. So maybe there is a FREE ride somewere. Fred :)
Title: Re: How many are going ?
Post by: discolives78 on March 29, 2009, 11:26:46 PM: I got my entry form today, I'm sending it in tomorrow!

One stall for 'Buttercup'. How do cars get arranged? All Pintos are class 19 right?

Accomodations seem to have been worked out. :)

Chuck :afro:
Title: Re: How many are going ?
Post by: Srt on March 30, 2009, 03:32:28 AM: I'm bummed.

I don't have my own Pinto to bring to the party! Maybe some day!
Title: Re: How many are going ?
Post by: Pintosopher on March 30, 2009, 11:41:47 AM: Congratulation s Chuck,
You've escaped the Corral and will run free across the sage and sand! You're on the way to a new paradigm for living... ;D

Srt, I hear you , and can empathize. I have the car, but no funds to finish and no answer yet to the "Time & Money" paradox (Pair O' Ducks with no bucks). :(

So those of you who can, DO, Those of you who can't, come next year. ;)

SRT, Chuck , and all who resent government tyranny, Keep the faith, we'll fight 'em all the way. >:(

Pintosopher UU - Buckin' the trends to dispirit the masses..
Title: Re: How many are going ?
Post by: lencost on March 30, 2009, 10:50:41 PM: I got the time off, however I will be Pinto less again this year.
I hope to have as much fun this year as last!
Title: Re: How many are going ?
Post by: Fred Morgan on March 31, 2009, 11:40:14 AM: Let me help you people that are Pintoless to get another 1 to the show. I have a 74 driver for $800.00 without A/C $600.00. Fred :)
Title: Re: How many are going ?
Post by: blupinto on March 31, 2009, 03:46:12 PM: :surprised: Are you selling that '74 or renting it? If you're selling it tell me more in a PM.
Title: Re: How many are going ?
Post by: Lost Coz on March 31, 2009, 08:02:36 PM: I got the green registration card in the mail last week. My wife and I are leaving here on Friday and spending some time with friends Saturday, and will be at Knott's or Carrow's early Sunday. Looking forward to a good time. We will be driving the 73 wagon. See you there!
Title: Re: How many are going ?
Post by: r4pinto on April 08, 2009, 06:30:32 PM: It sounds like it's gonna be a blast. I wish there was a way I could drive out there but being on the other end of the country That's not going to happen. Maybe some time but not at the moment.

Post by: vonkysmeed on April 17, 2009, 06:17:45 PM: Do we have a final count of pintos? My hood will at least be primered, but more complete than last time.
Title: Re: How many are going ?
Post by: pintogirl on April 17, 2009, 10:32:09 PM: How bout we do it this way. If you are going just reply to this post by putting the next number, meaning I will put 1 in this post, the next person would put 2, then the next 3........ That way we can kinda get an idea of how many members (not including family or how many Pintos you are bringing) Don't know how accurate this will be as some may have already left for the drive there!!

Here we go...
