    I believe I saw your Green Pinto at the 2007 All-Ford show in McDonald Park last August. You were parked by Dan Kuhn's Maverick.

    Hello Dan & maverick1970,
    Yes I guess you guys have figured out, I get around to all the big shows...
    Hope to Meet some of you guys at the shows in 2008..
    Hey Dan I still tell people about your fabulos Red Stallion Maverick with the Torq'ys and FM 901 tires. + the very cool traction bars...
    I'm driving a Red 72 Pinto wagon 58,000 miles to knottsberry.
    I will be trailoring my 1971 1/2 to Tulsa and Carlisle.
    28,000 mile flawless interior and Paint.
    Hope you make it to Springfields 2008 Dan.
    Give me a call 618-339-5047 when it gets close to september or if you know of a good show near Quincy.
    I have invited the Pinto group many times to the J.S McDonald show but no one shows... I'll be there as allways...
    MY plan is to attend more shows at the Ford dealers near St louis in 08,
    as I think they would get a kick out of seeing some of my rides???

    Your Members have been so nice....
    Keep up the great work!!!!!!

    All the Sprints were 9A or Wimbeldon White, which is an off white. It doesn't look bad until you get it next to a true white. When I repainted mine, I used the brightest white I could find. I think it looks much better.

    Thank you for your reply.

    Hello

    Mavaholic,
    What did you used for the red and blue??
    I'm thinking Grabber Blue.
    If you painted the red?
    What color did you use?
    Again Thank You for any advice you may provide.

    Hopefully the members here will not mind me posting this...
    If so? Please delete...

    Was Great to see the Maverics got their own catigory at the J.S. McDonald show this year!!!
    Kuhn's Maverick Was all painted and there was a GREAT turnout for the
    Mavericks!!!
    I should have took the time to go over and introduce myself but was hot as usual and had the wifey with so I was a good boy...
    At least she drove a Pinto so I could have more than 1 of my rides at the show.
    Hope to see you all next year...

    Great work. Did you ever get your answer for the blue and red? Just in case you didn't, Grabber blue is correct for the blue. All my red is 3M pin stripping tape. Part # 72604 for a 150ft roll or 70304 for a 40ft roll.

    I was at the show. I should have stopped by.
    The Gateway Falcon Club has an All-Ford show at First Capitol 4 Wheel Drive in St. Charles in September. I believe it is on the 14th this year If it is, I know I will be at the Street Machine Nationals in Springfield, MO, but I am sure Dan Kuhn will be their wih his Very Green Maverick.

    Hello Maverick Group,
    It has been a momet or two since I last posted.
    I stopped in to see how everyone is doing.
    Please remember to contact me about any Ford show where you plan to attend for 2011
    I will be attending the Knottsberry show again for 2011 with my 1972 Blue Pinto wagon.
    2011 is the 40th anniversary for the Pinto. A BIG celebration is planned for the show at Carlisle. I'm still not sure what Pinto I'm bringing.
    Hope to meet upwith a few Maverick guys in the upcoming season.
    Later...
    From Pintony
