I forgot to put plug of the spark plug wires back in before doing this pre-VeXpo errand, so the Pinto was briefly a 3 cylinder engine

Got a new battery hold-down made of plastic from 1976. Humanity has certainly gotten better at manufacturing low cost injection molded plastic since then 😅

the Minto Pinto parked at a museum where both it and oimo's art arguably belong

Got any ideas for Mint fandom jokes to make into magnets? The rear quarter panel is meant to have the vibe of a station wagon with too many bumper stickers, but with magnets so I can wash the car properly and rearrange them lol

Here's a closeup of the Pinto magnets drawn by @/lauragemstones! On the passenger side of the car there are 2 fandom jokes, and on the driver side is an actual planned Antarctica cruise + a @/RockAuto_Parts logo parody.

Hey if you ever hear rattling in your front bumper, make sure to check that there isn't a vintage Craftsman 1/2 inch socket rolling around inside

I purchased the Pinto in Arkansas - and as is custom with classic cars - the seller wanted to keep the historic Arkansas plate.
So I cannot confirm nor deny that I drove it from Arkansas for 300+ miles without a license plate. Nor can I elaborate whether I was pulled over👮♀️

Ripped out the previous restomod's questionably installed single DIN head unit and replaced it with a touchscreen for $70.
The Pinto now has USB-C and wireless Android Auto lol

Put some rubber door stops where they were missing, and you can hear the improvement!

Starting to take care of the rust! I'll finish sanding this panel tomorrow and spray some primer-filler, since I don't have color match paint yet.
Not that you'll see underneath a full wrap, but I would like to not drive an actual rust bucket
