    Third brake light?

    Engine Swap

    One of our members had Mitchell do up an under drive and now he can keep up with the stockers in the hills. In the "olden days" one of the Sierra Chapter members did up a kit that resulted in 40% of the members going with Pintos. We are sometimes called the "Pinto Club"! I don't think there...
