Very nice car! I like how clean and hi-tech it is. Good work! Love the door modifications to remove the window frames to!

Remembering Jeff Fitcher with every drive in my 78 Sedan.

I am a Pinto Surgeon. Fixing problems and giving Pintos a chance to live again is more than a hobby, it's a passion!

Yes, it is possible to study and become a master of Pintosophy.. Not a religion , nothing less than a life quest for non conformity and rational thought. What Horse did you ride in on?

Thanks for the comments. Its been quite a learning curve, and I know it'll be worth all the effort. Modern technology married to an old school ride. Yesterday the UPS driver that delivers to my shop brought someone with him and I asked him if his helper was in training and he said no "I brought him to see the Pinto". He had him on call waiting for us to have a delivery. Wow.
