Hello Group,
 8 days left until I leave for California.
 Where did the time go???
 The P.P. is ready except for a few tweeks and still the windshield gasket remains.
No major issues at this time.
 My plans are to leave thursday at 8:00 am but I want to leave wednesday at 8:00 am
Work is heavy right now and I'm struggling to keep up.
 Last night till 9:30 really broke me down.
 Oh well at least the money is good and that should not be a problem for my trip.
 I plan to take it easy on the Pinto and keep the boost down to 4or5 lbs. so I can run the cheep fuel.
 Too bad I do not have a lap top to send the group live photos of my trip.
 Maybe I can send Brad or someone photos from my camera phone but they will not be the best.
 Anyone want the job of posting the photos?
 All I need is your email address.
 From Pintony

Pintony,
   I will look for the test pics. It's about 50/50 that I would be making Tulsa at this time because I don't have a tow rig for ThunderPinto yet. It's about a four hour jaunt from here. I'll be in touch.

Hello Group,
 This will be my last post untill I return from California.
 The P.P. is gased and ready to run.
I have lots of tools and parts so I should be OK.
Bulbs, fuses, belts, hoses clamps, gaskets,
I still have 2 trick parts that did not show in the mail but heck. I'll just have to go without them.
Hope High_horse gets the photos up for your amusement.
Thanks High_horse...

I will be stoping tomorrow night to have a steak with Original74, Dave.
 Can't wait to see him again.
Looking at the weather we are in for some rain after Tulsa .
 Hope I have the windshield sealed good???
 Getting ready to put on a few final pieces tonight to make the trip tomorrow at 8-9:00 am.
From Pintony
