I understand it was a freak heat wave. 102 in April is really freaky! If it's cool I might take Karma. What chariot(s) are you bringing if you guys can go? I hope you guys can come!

I'm not sure which one will get to go! I'm not sure if we would trailer one down there again or drive this time. I would like to take Shaggy if I had her done, but I'm not sure if she will be done by then. If not, I would probably bring the Ghost again, but I would trailer her for sure! Don't want to drive her that far! I don't care if people call her a trailer queen! Least she is a Queen! LOL

So true! Kimmy, definitely bring Ghost and may I sit in her driver's seat just for a minute or two? I want to reminisce when I had a '72...
Title: Re: 2010 Faboulus Fords Forever

Post by: blupinto on January 06, 2010, 08:18:21 PM
No worries Kimmy! Natural Pinto seats are fine. I just want to REALLY nose through Ghost. My BlueStarPinto (my '72s name) had pop-out windows like Ghost.

Bipper, Barth will never enter the computer age.

As of last Saturday, the letters from the Ford Car Club Council will be mailed out. I will call Carrows to book the place (I think we pushed the poor Fairlane guys out!). I am open to sugestions on what to do Saturday. I am thinking about AutoBooks-AeroBooks in Burbank, CA in the morning. I know the owners VERY well and we can reserve the parking lot for a Pinto meet from 8am to 12. I know a few guys in the entertainment industry and it is very possible that we can get some TV time from this. I am just wondering if this is to much for you guys. I know everyone stresses for Sunday so I want to make sure that Saturday isn't to much.

www.autobooks-aerobooks.com (http://www.autobooks-aerobooks.com)

Let me know.

I have 5 cars going this year! It's a record for me! The first Fab Fords I went to had 5 Pintos total! After a lot of hard work this year should break a record!

Title: Re: 2010 Faboulus Fords Forever
Post by: Pintopower on January 19, 2010, 05:16:12 PM
Sorry Brad, I didn't know that. I've been booking that place since '03. I guess we have always been double booking. Better two reservations than none. Let me know if you need anything. I just emailed 50 Pinto owners in the surrounding area plus I called and mailed out the new flyers to those without internet. I will find out about the bag stuffing. Everyones help last year was great! RacerX or Pushthepinto will get back to me with the details.

Just got my entry and will send it in this week.

Lots to do though.

302 is out and sold, 351 is in pieces, but short block is all shiny and ready for build.  Wiring will be done and new legal fuel cell will be in. 

Glad it is in late April, I will need the time.

It will drive this year and not be on a trailer. 

SO far been in 2 magazines last year.  Car and Craft in their cruising article and in Grassroots Motorsports in readers rides.  Hope to have a better looking car with more parts on it this year.

It looks like we may be bringing 2 cars to the show!!!!! The Ghost and Bella!!! Hubby is going to work on getting a truck and trailer to haul them both down there!! Yes, my baby's are trailer queens and proud of it!! I don't want to put them through such a long trip!!  ;D

I'm going to wait a bit to make sure all goes well with Bella before I send off my registration. Once she is comfirmed a good runner, I will send it in!!

Can't wait!!!!  ;D ;D

Ok, I made my room reservations at the Knott's Hotel!!!! I have to for Sat, Sun, and Monday!! So we should be able to party after the show with you all this year!!!!!  ;D ;D

Now I just need to get the registration sent in! Have to wait at least another week or so for that though! Need to make sure Bella is going to perform right!!  ;D

Post by: Pintopower on January 25, 2010, 06:34:17 PM
Oh! Good Kim! We had a ton of people that joined us for our yearly after show party last year!!! I already made the reservations for the restaurant! I will post the info for that so you all can join us! I will also hand out flyers this year after the show to make it a bit easier to get to.

I am so happy about how well this show is going! I remember when me, my sister, Jimmy, his Dad and Racer X were the only ones there seven years ago! It took  a lot of hard work (runs, BBQ's. Xmas parties, meeting, road trips) and leaving cards on peoples pintos (I have gone through 1000 cards already!) to get them to come out and see what a huge group of devoted folks we all are! It may have been a ton of work but meeting new Pinto lovers like Becky, Leonard, Mike, Dave, Joe, Brian, Brian, Brian, Brian (seriously, no more Brians) Tony, Jim, Ed, Bill, Steve, Randy, Bob, Bob, Bob (ok, no more Bobs either) Sandy, Kim, Jennifer, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris (COME on now! Confusing!) etc.... You guys make it all worth it! Can't wait to see you all and some more newbies!

Yeah, there were a ton of people at the after-show dinner... I was half the ton! YUK! I'll hopefully be, er, less robust by showtime and have a car that'll make it there! ;D  I need some good strong JuJu! :D

Fred, my driveway will be packed with cars BUT the street might work. Also, I will ask Barth as he is on a very calm street. Mine is super busy. I am about 20 min from the show but every year were all caravan there from my house! I will let you know!

Becky, Half the ton? Shut up! You were great to meet and we had a blast with you there! Good juju? Well you got it!

George Spears was the force behind Spearco & Mike Chrisman (spelling?) is from an 'old' drag racing family.

Pangra Owners/Enthusiasts

A reply to a conversation with Jack Stratton earlier today:

"...Steve,

I am, frankly, overwhelmed by this offer. Thanks to all of those
involved with the offer.
I think the best for all would be to meet @ the Knotts thing.

I do have to laugh sometimes at your emails. They seem to paint me as
some sort of recluse. Not to worry. I am readily available to all that
wish to speak to me. Feel free to send my email address to anyone that you
think wants it. I do prefer to email you personally as you can see, I
don't respond promptly to emails.

As mentioned previously, my time now is taken by our relocation and so
computer time seems to be limited to very late in the day. I have been
trying to remember and find the time to call you on your days off, but can't
seem to get there. I will make a concentrated effort sometime this week to
do so.

Take care,
Jack

Title: Re: 2010 Faboulus Fords Forever
Post by: pintogirl on February 06, 2010, 08:07:52 PM
Looks like I may only  be able to bring one car to Knotts.  :( Hubby measured the trucks down at our friends business and they are to short to put the Ghost on. Our trailer only hauls one car. I tried to convince Hubby to borrow a tow truck from his work, but he doesn't want to put that many miles on one of them. They get enough miles just around town.

So the only way we can bring both is to either find a trailer that will haul two, that won't need extra brakes on it or, I will have to drive one and hubby tow the other. We are tossing that option back and forth but, 1, we don't know how well the squire will run (should know by then) and 2, I'm just not sure I want to make the trip in 2 different vehicles. Part of the fun is riding together and looking at all the peeps giving us thumbs up on the Ghost!!!  ;D

For now I am going to just send in my registration papers for the Ghost. I still have time to print another one out and send it off for Bella if we find a way to take her!


Cant wait for the show though!!!! Oh, and I am bringing my patio umbrella this year!!! I don't care what the rules say!!!! LOL ;D

Joe, Becky and Chris, ok I was thinking a cruise through Hollywood. I will see how that goes in regards to traffic. Sunset is a mess on saturdays but when you have a line of Pintos, who cares how slow you are going. Becky, I have a couple people crashing here so I will see if I can find you a bunk near by or if someone flakes I'll let you know. Worst case i'll just order some pizzas!
Alberto

P.S. Chris, this years color is orange... since thomas' pinto isn't running (been two years now) we will choose the color of his running Fiat.

This year, I am entering the 73 Wagon in the "Kool April Night's" show in Redding. It falls on the same weekend as Knott's. We had a great time at Knott's last year, but  We've decided to stay local and not put the 1200 mile round trip on the car this year. Not sure, but out of the 2000 cars entered in KAN, I believe we will have the only Pinto. Cruise night when all the cars take over Hilltop in Redding will be a blast and It should be fun! To all going to Knott's, have a great time and enjoy all the Cool Pinto"s and their owners. Later....


"Pinto's are Cool!"

Joe, Becky and Chris, ok I was thinking a cruise through Hollywood. I will see how that goes in regards to traffic. Sunset is a mess on saturdays but when you have a line of Pintos, who cares how slow you are going. Becky, I have a couple people crashing here so I will see if I can find you a bunk near by or if someone flakes I'll let you know. Worst case i'll just order some pizzas!
Alberto

P.S. Chris, this years color is orange... since thomas' pinto isn't running (been two years now) we will choose the color of his running Fiat.

A curuse though HollyWood? Cool stuff...  Need many shots (high res shots) for the site.. GREAT stuff for the front page and throught the site...

You guys live in the neatest area!

Scott

If anyone wants PCCA shirts, I plan on bringing all the shirts I have with me to Sonoma and FFF.
I currently have:
Blue Polos - Small X 2, Medium X 3, Large X 4, X Large x1
Black polo - Large x 1
These all have the embroidered logos on the front

I also have T-shirts, which I have not set up in the store yet.
I had to order a few to check the quality before I start selling them.
Men's and Women's T-shirts with the logo digitally printed, small in front like the polo and large, centered on the back of the shirt. They all look great!

I have right now 1 each of:
Mens Large in Royal Blue, Navy, Grey, Black and Cream and 1 each of Womens Medium in Pale Yellow and Sky Blue.

I need to get these up in the store, maybe this week.

Joe

Got the new rings in!! Didn't see any smoke and drove it for 100 miles. Checked the oil, and it didn't drink a drop. Yay! Finally not clouding the California skies anymore. Performance is much better too. I think the drive to Knotts should be no problem now.

Ok, lets hope the rain that's scheduled for Monday - Friday the week of the show STOPS Friday night and we have a nice dry show. Big difference from last year when it was about 2 degrees above flame......... :o  :police:

There will be NO rain.  The temp will be 72 with a gentle easterly breeze and low humidity. Blue skys with the occasional cloud floating overhead. Excellent natural light for perfect photo opportunities and a relaxed atmosphere that eliminates the need to run for or manufactue shade and consume massive quantities of liquids!
In other words; it will be great!!!

The rebuild passed the test today.  Drove the car over 2 hours with no issues.  It will make the 20 minute trip back and forth to the show.  I would like to join in some of the other activities, but my event coordinator has me booked already.

See everyone there at the show.

I would not bother bringing it.  They do enforce it at this show.  The wind does pick up in the early afternoon.  Saw a few larger umbrellas go flying last year and do some damage.

SRT,

I live in HB just down Beach Blvd from the show.  After my freeway trip today, I almost wish I lived further.  Had it at in excess of 65 with no issues and a lot more in reserve.   

This is the most complete the car has been in years and it is still not done.

Yeah,

I'll leave the canopy home. There isn't a lot of room in a Runabout as it is with suitcases and tools that I will have with me just in case. This is gonna be a blast!

ON the canopy/ umbrella thing! Last year everyone told me not to bring one so I didn't! BAKED the whole day out in the hot sun. AND there where several umbrellas and such up at other peoples cars! This year I am bringing my umbrella and its stand and somehting to tie it to the bumper of the car! If they tell me to take it down I will, if not, I will sit under it! I would rather have it and get told to take it down, then to not have it and bake!!  ;D
