Life.... 3 years to this point!!!
We can see light at the end of the tunnel. Here is the car on the road after sitting for over 20 years. It was a nice day on sunday and it was a day for test and tune. I didn't know Angie took this picture of the car, she was following me in case of problems. (the truck had all the tools, oils, and emergency stuff in case of probs) only thing that is bothered is the carb needs fine tuning and there is a air trouble vacuum leak, had to run with 2 feet at stop signs to keep the idle up. besides that.... she ran good. This car is a head turner.... don't know if it was because of the rumble from the pipes.... or if it from no-one expecting to see a red pinto.... this car is going to be fun to drive.
Already have the entry forms for its first car show in April 19th weekend. it is the first show of the season around here and it is a 4 day event.... you park the car on thursday, and can't get it back till after the awards on sunday. the show encompasses 2 huge buildings. they love 1st time cars and there are tons of owner builds with great prizes (not trailer queen mega $$$ shop builds) the mega builds have their own categories.
The car isn't 100% yet,however, by end of the month it will be!!! still needs the final coat of clear, some last minute details for the interior and figuring out air filter system. just running without the hood for now and a chrome circle air cleaner to get the car around....
