FM member “71HotRodPinto”, who has been a solid FordMuscle forums contributor since 2002, deserves some homepage time for his recent accomplishment. His 5 year Pinto 302 conversion project is finally running. To gain full appreciation for what he’s overcome, it appears from the video below that he did it all in his apartment complex’s carport. To comment or find out more about his project, ask 71HotRodPinto himself in the FM Video Forum where his annoucement was officially made. Nice work from the FM staff.

By 71hotrodpinto. September 17th, 2007 at 11:03 amActually i never made this clear,but 75% of the work was completed at my friends house 45 miles away. That was a trek back and forth on the weekends for over 3.5 years. After my buddies wife could tolerate it no more (understanibly) I moved it to my carport for about 4 months. Then moved it to my Father in laws garage area down the street. That went sour in 4 months. Now back in my carport for about a year finishing the wiring details, carpet, and little odds n ends… On the SLY (not supposed to be) Thanks Again for the nice Recoginition!!!
CONGRAT’S! “The little horse that can!”
