Just wanted let everyone know or people that live close to St. Louis. I just got back from a crusie night here (picture below) and was talking to the guys from the Ford Mercury club. They loved my car, The reason I am mentioning that is they said they would love to see a contingent of Pinto's at their show. link below. They said all models are usally represented but very rarely have Pintos.. I know Pintony is planning to make it. So it sure would be nice if we could get a turn out of Pintos and let people here in St. Louis see them. They really get peoples attention lately judging from my last 2 cruise nights.

Hey pintony just happened to think. If you could bring all your cars we could make a great showing at this show. ;D
If I am still working in Branson and the boss will let me drive the company that far for personal use, I might be able to do it. I will have to see and let you know

Yeah, I just looked at how far away that is and there is NO WAY that I can do that. Unless, I am on my way back to Milwaukee and can stop in. We will see how it goes.
Well we just got back and it was a great show. Beatiful setting 250 something Fords. Three Pinto's 1 mine and Tony brought 2. They received a lot of attention. Great show like I said. I wish more people could of been there. Even though it was in the 90's. The shade was great from all the tree's. Ford's unlimited car club did a great job. Here are a couple pictures. :)

How to Split the Atom
In today's political climate, it is wise to seriously consider developing nuclear capabilities. If you are a small nation-state, having the bomb can be very useful in negotiations, and many households in the United States already employ nuclear weaponry for home security.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1: Choosing the right atom It would be a mistake to assume that any old atom will do. Theoretically, this is true, but practically speaking, you will have a good deal of trouble splitting smaller atoms, such as oxygen. Instead, you are going to have to find a large atom. Your best choices are uranium or plutonium. We recommend uranium, as you will find that it is much easier to come by. Uranium is a naturally occurring element that can be mined, and is also available now in many specialty stores. Plutonium is not only much rarer, it's man-made, and we don't have the time to tell you how to make it. Also, it is also by far the most lethal substance in the known universe. There is not a large market for plutonium right now because retailers who overstocked tended to get vaporized. (Large enough amounts will explode spontaneously.) However, as the former Soviet Union continues to deteriorate, the availability of weapons-grade plutonium continues to rise, so you may be able to find some on the cheap in the near future.
2: Weighing your atom There are two main uranium isotopes, uranium 235 and uranium 238. You will have to sort through your uranium atoms and pick out the U235. This will be very time-consuming, as U235 is exceedingly rare. It may help to use a scale: U238 weighs three more than U235, so set the tare accordingly. Hopefully, you bought a lot of uranium. (Important note: while doing this, do not ingest any uranium, and be sure to wash your hands thoroughly.) Discard the U238 appropriately by flushing it down the toilet....
;) ;D :showback: :lol:
I have been wondering about that atom splitting thing for sometime. Now I know.
I also won the first attendance prize today, a can of GUMOUT. Do you think it has any atoms to split. ;D ;) :read:

Thanks! and I had fun ;D
No awards but I don't worry about that stuff. The Saturday show was a judged show and I was beat out by 2 very nice cars, Sundays show didn't give awards, ramdom drawing for cash prizes. To many locals get upset around here because they don't win awards so most of the local shows are doing random drawings for prizes these days from what I have seen.

Nice cars and showing Tony and Ray, I wanna see them cars soon ya know.
Thanks guys. Good pictures. Tony appreciate the compliments. Your cars look great to and great detail work. Everyone in Pinto.com needs to keep bringing their cars out and show people what can be done with these cars, wether stock or modified. They always peak peoples interest. :) :surprised:
