Gentleman, we have the parts, we have the knowledge... we can rebuild him...
Ok... I'm out of time so I'll have to call him ready for the show. Todays final items installed - dash cap arrived today and installed, was telling a friend I wanted black "sport mirrors" and he had a set for me now painted with truck bed liner, and I replaced the rear bumper cover with one that was straight, painted with you guessed it... truck bed liner
No more will I be calling him the Pincat and the last and final items for the new and improved "Wounded Pinto" have been installed for the show this weekend. Starting with a Pinto I have transplanted parts from a Bobcat, Mustang II and the mirrors were last installed on a chevy (oh goodness) so the new name fits, in my eyes anyways. I have fixed and repaired much! on this car since I bought it in July of 2008. It is my favorite daily driver. I'm sure there will be more done and added in the future, just no nore time before the show and I hope my little tribute is acceped for what it is... not all together perfect but loved and respected for what it is. Poor thing should never have been saved, nor should I have spent all the time and money I have on this car but a promise is a promise and I did tell the previous owner I would do what I could to keep it on the road. She loved her little Pinto and while it's a completly different "beast" these days I hope she doesn't mind and is glad the wheels still be a turning.
