Title: pinto redo
Post by: pintoman on December 06, 2004, 06:43:32 PM
A couple of my friends and i are going to start a new project.We are going to redo a 80 Pinto Pony for a guy here in Columbus,Ohio.This guy[ROB] is unable to fix it up,due to a low paying job and his family.He drives it daily and takes it to car shows.The body is kind of rough,but the interior is fairly decent.We are planing to fix the dents and rust spots then give it a paint job.We are in need of a trunk lid,if any one can help out it would be appreciated.Rob doesn't know that we are planning on doing this yet. It's to bad we can't get Chip Foose to do it for us,then it could be on overhaulin.Thank's for listening,Pintoman.

We don't need the trunk lid afterall.We told Rod last night what we are planning to do and he said the trunk lid was fine.As far as i know Rod did not go to Waverly in Sept.The plan is to get started on his car sometime in Feb.We have t get my buddies 80 Pony done first.It has 29,000 miles on it ,and still has the original tires.
