Brad, Which car are you planning on bringing (If you know yet). I would like to take a close up look at the subframe connector that you have on your car. I never saw the update from your original post on them.
Im Planning on bringing my Black Pangra. The Green car will not be ready as I dont even have the block back from Esslinger yet ( rebuilding the whole engine).
OK, who will be going to the show???
I've been told, by a local neighbor, to bring my car but's really not good enough in my eyes. I might just go to look and take the kids to Knotts at the same time. that will make a cool day for all of us.
Cool, the show is fun and there are a lot of different ford's to look at. Of course, there will be about 75 mustangs, but who's counting.......... ;D
Hey guys,
I will be visiting my daughter in the Navy and am going to check this show out and hopefully meet some of you. I am in the process of acquiring an enclosed trailer and tow vehicle. I hope to drag my little baby out there next year. I can't wait to go to a car show with 10 or so Pinto's!
Hope to see you all in about 6 weeks.

Cool, Dave it will be great to meet you.
Maybe we should speed up those decals so we can wear them on our forehead to identify each other.
Im trying. I sent the OK, to Scott to proceed. As soon as I hear from Scott that there ordered I will post and start taking advance orders.
I've written the check and my entry form will go out in tomorrow's mail, so we'll see if it gets in early enough to be accepted. If so, I'll have my '80 wagon in. If not, I'll be there to browse. I normally work Sundays but I've already been given approval for the day off. See everyone there!
Hey, I tried to call you yesterday but the phone number just rang.
Project Frankenpinto will be there unless it has a spectacular failure
Also, sign me up for a sticker for the backwindow.
73 Pinto runabout with the following
351 from a 74/75 ford galaxie
4 speed manual from an 82 mustang gt
rear end from a Mustang II (need to verify year)
heads off a 75 ford truck
exhaust manifolds off a 98 ford explorer
3rd member off a fairmont
Got my entry confirmation for the show and the boss has given me the day off! I'll be there!!
Brad, try my cell: 714-317-9828
Brad,
Do you have an update on the possibility the stickers may be ready for the Ford Show?
Im trying to get them done but everybody is busy. I will call and find out today.
17 days to go and its going to be tough...................... help................ :'(
Brad,
I have Fridays off and could come down and help on April 8th. Let me know.

wow, that would be great. I had a problem with my oiling system and had to do an R&R on the oil pump. My oil pump was putting out over 100 lbs of pressure ( probably close to 200 lbs according to Dwayne Esslinger). I'm waiting for the pan gasket to put it back together. I hope that was the problem. I'm still painting the firberglass. Its going to tight because I still need to road test this car. I don't want to do that on the 60 mile trip up................ :o
Well, let me now if you want me to come down and how to get there and we'll plan on it. If I got going early enough, I could miss a good part of the traffic. Is it better to come down on the 5 or the 15 to get to where you are? Contact me at pobs2u@yahoo.com or on my cell. If you don't have my cell#, let me know.
I will email you.
Well an excited hello to you all, just writing to inform you that mine and two other pintos of ours ('77, '78, & '79) will be going to the show for the third year. I hope that this year's number of pintos will be a record. Cannot wait to see you all there. Oh, and good luck with finishing your car, hope it turns out great. Last year, my car arrived at the show with the worst oil leak ever. The gasket we put on the night before got pinched and was leaking everywhere. Then after the show, my radiator hose got loose and blew off, creating a giant cloud of steam while I was driving. That was still a fun day none-the-less. So good luck again and see you there. ~Francesca
This car show is famous for causing cars to leak at of all orifices........................ ;D
my car will be there if it runs or not. I have a trailer in the back yard now to transport it. My engine is spilling oil as fast as I put it in. Hope it will run there
cool

Brian, I am curious to see your progress. You going to update your website soon?
I am working on it. I will post an update by next saturday night that explains all of the reasons it is not done yet.. I have ben working too hard to post pictures. Also, thanks for the clutch part. when I find mine, I will send it to you.
Unless a lot happens between now and sunday, the car will be trailered in to the show. I need to fabricate a new oil pan since the one I frankensteined together does not seal. wish me luck to have it there under its own power.
See you sunday
I totally know the feeling.................. :P :P :P
Does any one in San Diego want a free entry for the show???.........I wont be going due to the car not being up to standards.............. >:(
go anyway, I am taking my car in on a trailer. electrical gremlins and other issues have caused me to take it there on a trailer. Hope to see you there
