Default Wagner's Auto Body Pro Stock Pinto

My boss' odd obscession happens to be Pintos. Not just Pintos but V8 stuffed drag pintos. He has a real Bob Gliden drag car that he restored back to original condition.

He also has a second drag Pinto we have been building for a while now. Its got a built 302 and a reverse manual valve body C4 trans. I ran a painless wiring harness so the car can be driven on the street. I also installed all the gauges and ignition, installed the dash as well as the seats and harnesses and all the body hardware (door latches/handles, hood pins, rear hatch and side glass). Its basically a completely streetable pro stock Ford Pinto. I put alot of work into this car and we have finally got it up and running and very close to being ready for the road. I took a video of it on my phone after work today. I thought I would share it with you.

My Blackberry wouldn't open the pics. I like V-8 Pinto's, Vega's and Astra's. They are all cool.

I use the Blackberry Messenger to communicate with management at work. It makes the job easier. I am probably going to keep the Blackberry and get the I-5 when it comes out.

It does bite that it wouldn't open the pics though. Maybe Space will down load them to the thread.
