Ford Pinto Racing Car


This is roughly the condition of the Pinto when I started.
The body was in very good condition.

This is the 'tub' stripped of most mechanicals.
I left the rear axle in, so it could be moved 'wheel barrow' style.

Roll cage being installed. John's handy work is evident.

The primer is on, drying, just waiting the wet sanding.

Race cars look real nice when they are new.
They don't stay that way, unfortunately.

I may have put the Pinto together mostly by myself, but I had help. Lots of help.
Racers almost always reference "We" won the race or "We" will get it right the next time.
John welded my roll cage, Scott painted the body, the list is endless.
It is a team effort, even for us grass roots racers.
I thank them all and I hope they had fun.
