Know that I run into at least one other pinto, but hope for more and it is for a good cause.  Should be fun, lots of different cars.

Thanks! I couldn't find center caps for the factory mag type rims, so she'll be sporting a clean set of factory spokes tomorrow.

It was a clean car.  Great show aside from a group trying to keep a pinto down.  Pictures can be seen at project frankenpinto on facebook.

Really fun time at the show and I counted 4 Pintos total at the event. I couldn't believe the interest and love bestowed on my little Pinto. Cruising through the crowd you can hear everyone saying " OMG, it's a Pinto! or just "Pinto!!"
 I almost (notice I said ALMOST)  felt sad for those guys who sunk $30,000 into their Chevelle, Mustang, Camaro, or 57 Chevy and didn't get any looks or comments because the shows are just oversaturated with them....
