Re: THE PINTO.
Heres a pic of the engine compartment. We should have the rest of the tubes done with mock up tonight. the wheel well clearancing was very easy thanks in part to a 20yr old leaking battery. As soon as I get a hold of the english wheel and shrinker stretcher I'll have a nice panel to go in there. The turbo outlet has to go into the fender area a bit, but doesn't interfere with the tires at all.Comment

Re: THE PINTO.
Got the block back tonight, looks like .030 did the trick, he said it cleared at 20 but the ring packages are easier and cheaper for a 30. As you can see through the pic with the carb on the box, it doesn't clear the hood, so we're relocating the box to inside the fender well tomorrow to make everything work better and keep the hood as flat as possible. We also removed the roof rack and the rear window cleaner, which was slightly rotted. Up North they have salt. Down south they have pine straw, and i think it may be worse. We've also removed the grill and front bumper to make room for the sweet air dam that going to get fabricated, as soon as I can get turk off his ass and call me for a rules clarification. The bumbers stick off this thing about 1.5 miles. As you can see from the picture in the top right hand corner, yes, that is Mike....Yes... hes actually doing work....and its even productive for a change....Comment

Re: THE PINTO Update #2 More PICs.
I just calculated out the frontal area of the pinto, and realized this thing is kind tiny but tall the frontal area calculates out at 20.34sqft. Which is exactly equal to the frontal area of my camaro. Totally bitchin'. Now if I can just aero up the back of the wagon we may be in business... More to comeComment

Re: THE PINTO Update #2 More PICs.
I know yours is a wagon, but the ancient story about Pinto coupes is that they are actually more aero backward than forward. Not sure if that's true, but looking at them, it could be.Comment

Re: THE PINTO Update #2 More PICs.
well the front is 6" narrower than the back. The nose actually looks better than the camaro once you take off the front bumper. Its just the tail that sucks, because of the shape of the rear glass, and the width and depth of the rear bumper. Can you remove the rear bumper in altered??? I've actually already had a conversation with Bob at A2 about this, he said with a good spoiler shaped like the one on the camaro, it probably won't be as bad as you think. Not great, but not terrible either, because its a wagon and not a coupeComment
