C'mon down! Pm me an email address if you would like to be on the list of "locals". We're meeting at Jim Dandys in Portland on the 16th, for a chance to meet everyone. And our first show is on the 30th, in Portland.

Find something up there where we'd be able to go from the Portland area. Or better yet, halfway.

Robert,
The swap meet is not open on Sunday this year, according to the schedule. Suprise to me.
Hope you get this in time.

Enzo.

Bummer! Sunday would be the only day I had time to go, and that was only a couple hours.

robertwwithee · « **Reply #36 on:** April 02, 2016, 11:56:17 AM »

Guys, it is open on sunday at the expo center. It's the PIR one that's not open.

I managed to make it out for an hour or so, but didn't find anything I couldn't pass up.

I hope to see all of you at Jim Dandys on the 16th. Even if you can't drive your pinto out this time, come down and meet.

April 16th @ 4pm

I found center caps for the pink car and garage door opener. Opener complete was $30.
Woo hoo!

See you there! I hope to see a whole bunch of you there. Even if just half of the rsvp's show up in theirs, it'll be the most Pintos I'll have ever seen.

Looks like we've lucked out on the weather! Washing up the Pinto, and no rain?! Unheard of.

76hotrodpinto · « **Reply #44 on:** April 16, 2016, 09:31:10 PM »

It was nice to meet you all today. Here are the crappy pics I got before my battery poozled out on me.

I'll see some of you on the 30th!

Aww. I'm sorry I missed it this time. looks like you guys had a blast! I finally figured out that my carb adapter plate was a touch loose and my pcv valve was causing a massive vacuum leak and I couldn't get idle under 1400 rpm. Now shes running like a top. I just have to replace my ignition switch and headlight switch and I should be back in business!!

Whats the details on the car show on the 30th? Mine is not a show car, but I always enjoy the scenery.

Can't make it, have to be a Judge for my Union elections. Grandson?

76hotrodpinto · « **Reply #51 on:** April 21, 2016, 09:21:12 AM »

The show on the 30th is in se Portland at Eastport plaza. I think it's $15 to register. There's a carnival with rides and such, for the childrens. It's called the 82nd ave of roses cruise in, if you want to google it.

I'm gathering other event suggestions from the locals here, and will post/message, for everyone to find ones that work best for them.

I'm also thinking about a picnic or bbq, where we can drag some of our miscellaneous Pinto parts out for swapping, trading, long distance part tossing, or what ever.

robertwwithee · « **Reply #52 on:** April 22, 2016, 01:28:51 PM »

If can check schedule and organize a Wednesday at PIR for beaches/drag racing. We didn't have one v8 pinto at the pre-meet event. Stay tuned

If beaches will let us in, I'm down. They tend to be a little uppity about their entries.

I got my shiny uncracked dash in. Just in time for next saturday, but now everything else looks even more haggard. It needs to get patina!

76hotrodpinto · « **Reply #54 on:** April 27, 2016, 10:38:12 PM »

Looks like we're lucking out on the weather for Saturday! Not too hot and not raining either. I think we'll get a dozen or more Pinto's(based on about 50% of the rsvp's really showing up).

moses · « **Reply #55 on:** April 27, 2016, 10:59:41 PM »

Sadly, I wont be able to attend.

work is draging me in another weekend...

old 1973 · « **Reply #56 on:** April 29, 2016, 04:22:48 AM »

Had a blast at the meet up on the 16th..scrubbin g up the squire and will for sure be up at Eastport on the 30th..! Looking forward to a car show season of the Pinto!

76hotrodpinto · « **Reply #57 on:** April 30, 2016, 12:18:42 AM »

Got her as shiny as she gets! See you all tomorrow!

Show report...

I arrived to find some other Pintos already lined up, so I joined the ranks and got in line to register. The turn out this year was much larger than last year. Definitely more Pinto's! While I didn't trophy, one of the other ones did! I'll leave it to him to announce or not.

There were quite a few new cars too, but this guy hadn't even taken his out of the box yet!

Parking seemed to get pretty tight as the cars rolled in, so they brought in a special police unit, and some military, to help direct things and sniff butts.

I guess I can understand the lack of parking, when some weenie decides he need to take 2 spaces!

Good times! I hope to make a summer of it!

Looks like it was a nice turnout..
