Get to it Reeves, how about two of these? One for each axle. Wire up some Panasonic 18650s & that roof rack can accommodate some solar panels!:

Haha! Hilarious. It is really, really hard to look cool in a Pinto, or at least it used to be unless you were bolting in a 460 for a straight line suicide run or three. Ha!
Six of us in a Pinto station wagon back in the day on the way to a Bush party at "Richards" was a thing in Peace River.

My friend had one of the wagons with the moon window, way back when we were still teens, looked just like this one. Fun times cruising around Lethbridge in that.

Is that Ford Bahama Blue? Dad bought a brand new F150 Supercab back in '76 that looked like the identical color. Not much for blue vehicles but I do like that shade.

This is my 1975 Pinto at a race a few months back. I built it to be like the one I had as a teen.
