 :welcome: pintomike76!!!

I'm turbowagonman (Shawn) I live in Euclid (Northeast Ohio, in the snowbelt). I only know of about Two or Three around her besides mine, I was down all last summer do to me doing a Resto-Mod to my 80 Turbo Wagon but there might have been a couple more that poped up in that time. Here is a link to my pics on the net (clik "back" to see the project in progress)

pintoman: I plan on going to FFW @ Norwalk on the 21st myself, hopefully I'll run into more of the people from the site there as well. I'll be in my Pinto 'garve. Are you showing, Racing or just going to go?
BTW, I'm coming down your way tomorrow to pick up a couple of motors, a tranny and some SVO doors.
The place I have to go is near STELZER Rd., is that near you?

Hey Turbowagonman glad to hear from you.I live about 8 miles from Steltzer rd.I will be at Norwalk in the car show.But i will be working the show.I think all of the Ohio Pintos should show up for this show so the Mustangs don't get all the glory.See you there,Pintoman[Harley].

My car isn't done yet  :( so I highly doubt I'll be there in mine. Believe me though I'll be talking to EVERY Pinto owner at the show. I've got to order a PCCA Shirt today and I will have it on at FFW so if you see me hollar at me by either "turbowagonman" or "Shawn" (turbowagonman is more noticeable) BTW what "day" or "days" are you working?

On another note, hey pintoman I wont have my PCCA shirt in time so I will have a White Pinto shirt on with the design in the link I'm going to post. He has more of these shirts (hint hint). The shirt doesn't have the "Blue Oval" on it though.

I am here in suburban T-Hole, uh sorry, I mean Toledo. Perrysburg to be exact. Doin' the hardcore to the 72 wagon- turbo. After the serious mechanicals the bright white paint with wood grain, black painted steel wheels, and poverty caps are next. Pinto "woody" wagon- the ultimate sleeper from hell :evil:

I just saw this post.. I would love to take my car there, but I doubt it would make it. I shoulda changed the tranny in it during the month of unemployment, but I didn't. I've just had too much going on with prepping my Omni Turbo for the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals, which were a blast, and looking for work.
