DEMO the PINTO - ABANDONED 1972 Ford Pinto Runabout - Interior Restoration 

I do love my Pintos

Those are ALL great RU-vidrs 👍

Glad to see the Pinto back

Hello Rev and the Ole Man

Love your videos & your faith

Thanks for another , Padre !

good to see you back!

I tell you what….your wife is one lucky lady!! ❤

You are right when you start on a job like this you say well i can knock that out in an afternoon. It rarely works out that way. You have a good start getting everything tore down now you just have to build it back up again. Thanks for the video always fun to watch.

You dont realize how much you take your hand for granted when i caome out the hospital i lost all the strength in my hands barely could even turn the key to start the car.

Absolutely all of the above mentioned. Even Mr. McCool being the Mopar specialist! But there is one key figure there that I think you might have missed. And that would be Mr. Dalton from polburn garage! His content is more on the straight narrow, but the work that he does in his content humor included in it and straight to the point! If you like the other fellers, you'll definitely like him too! Most people don't realize this, but when you. Do replace only parts and pieces of metal on rusted areas such as floor boards. The best thing you can possibly do is once you get replaced. Exactly what needs to be replaced. Then you get a roll on bed liner such as rhino liner. You can roll it on with a paint roller and I tell you what once it is on. You will never have to deal with rust. Again! Just Ask the guy from michigan!

Thank you David I am an old school Vietnam - Era veteran.

HAPPY Sunday REV and family hope that your father gets 100%PRAYING

Some of those old slotted mags that came on some of the wagons factory would look pretty cool on that thing

Hope your wrist gets better soon preacher and hope your dad gets better too

Good one Rev! Thanks.

Great video Rev

Beautiful Tabby cat. Love the swirls. I'm a cat daddy to 4 🐈‍⬛😻😺🐈

Good to see you on RU-vid I been waiting to see more videos tell everybody I said hello. Specially the old man looks like he’s doing good. Say hi to Moose for me. Thanks.

That's funny about the pressure washing and I watch all the same guys you do they are the best out there and it's hard to find anybody else to watch other than them but yeah love the pinto and please don't bust a move on the like pudding

Hellow every body are doing fine good luck buddy's

I still remember my 73 Ford Pinto with a standard transmission I bought for $100 back in around 84. Same color as yours, spent $75 for a rebuilt transmission. Had a lot of fun during winter in the snow.

👍with a little more work you will have a great car 🚙. God bless you Rev 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Nice garden! Our Pastor has a green thumb as well! Years ago, I worked as a porter at a local Ford dealer-that summer, the mechanics were installing retrofit kits in Pintos. If I remember correctly, the kit had a longer fuel fill tube, and a plastic protector that prevented the gas tank from being punctured. Deuces!

My second daily driver was the Mercury version, the Bobcat. With that hatchback, great for hauling stuff back and forth to college. My first stick; really loved driving that 4-speed. My dad had bought it wrecked and rebuilt it. Car had been hit at about a 45 degree angle around the driver's door and windshield post. Unfortunately, the driver's side floorboard buckled in the wreck and while it was pulled straight, the floorboard eventually rusted out. Dad said he'd fix the Bobcat if I drove it back home, and he'd give me another car to drive while it was being fixed. Instead, the Bobcat got junked and I never saw it again. Still nothing but fond memories of that car.

I also watch Mortske, VGG, Dead Dodge Garage and a few others. Glad to hear your daddy's doing better.

Nice garden Rev, the pinto will be nice once it is done. I feel your pain I have one arm that works and one that sorta does.

I appreciate the Ford content. Love my Fords. Keep up the good content. I have two 62 falcons that I am gonna try to get back on the road.

We watch the same people on you tube! I like Weird Beard too!

Rev another great job! Keep it up Brother

Pinto Life! 😂 I'll pray for healing of your hand! Thanks again Rev, for a fun video!

❤Good to see you and Family Rev.

Automatic starter awesome

I'd love to see a collaboration with your family and the Dillons from Sleeperdude. I always look forward to your videos and theirs.

It's not just you that vacuums the floors before the roof. I've seen many RU-vidrs do it that way. Always a pleasure watching. Thanks Rev 👍🇺🇸

I gad you and the old man are back at the job. I miss you and your old man. God bless you and your family and the old man family to. From Jim

I love you and your old man's videos. I'll watch anything you guys post. Every time I watch one of your videos I can't wait for the next one.

Great video. Thank you for sharing it with us. God bless from west Texas And veterans past and recent. I am a veteran myself.

I'm so glad to see you back out making videos again. I hope your Dad will be with you next time. I'm really excited about the shop clean out!

That army man is probably what has kept that Pinto running as long as it has. You better put him back in during the resto! 😊

Rev, that Pinto is like so many of us, it needs a bit of work to be a lot better. It's never easy, it's occasionally fun, but it's always worthwhile. God bless the whole Wheeler family, and everyone around you.

Dang that Punto is awesome! I also dont think there is a more awesome color than Grabber Blue. I will say if i collected Pintos instead of Gran Torinos, i would probably have some room in the garage. Keep up the good work and keep making great content and i will keep watching.

I'm so glad the Pinto back from it's long vacation!😊

I had a 1980 pinto white with blue interior. Miss it

🇺🇸Make Pinto great again!!!🇺🇸

I bought a brand new Pinto in 1978. Excellent car! Drive it 5 years and sold it to my sister. Great car! Wish I still had that little jewel.

God bless yins guys. Hope you get it done. Can't wait to see what it looks like done

My dad used to use chicken poop and cow poop to fertilize the garden before planting when we lived in Arkansas and I was able to take a roasted peanut and it grew 😮

Keep up the good work Rev those floors are not that bad!

I bought a brand new 1980 Pinto hatchback with the 4 speed and loved it. 28 mpg with none of this new electronic junk. Only trouble i ever had was going around a sharp curve at 75 on wet road. My 75 Plymouth would have made it with no problem, but that little Pinto was a lot lighter and had a lot shorter wheelbase. My poor little Pinto made a complete 180 and came to a stop in the middle or the road. Once I got used to it, it was a really fun little car to drive.

On that car you were talking about that is “skipping”, check the connector that goes to the mass air flow sensor. If it is loose, it will make the engine miss and surge a little. Enjoy your videos and I appreciate that you serve the Lord.

Hey Rev your lucky at least you have a garage, I got a drive way

Shame on you you just told me your full country dislike me power greens green onions oh Lord and turnup turnup greens Lord you’re making me hungry I know you made that video long time ago but it sure sounds mighty tasty. Southern country southern style foods.😊

Yeah, but I'm looking for sweet potatoes. Greetings from Christmas Island.

I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THAT BLUE FORD PINTO.

All the good cars are in the USA.. sorry for your loss. Keep.up the vids👍👍

Thank you Mr. Revstoration for sharing your journey into ur pinto restoration. I love watching the Ole man and fixing on old fords for sure.

My hat is off to you. You got much more energy to work on them Old fords than I ever could. Clean out the garage work on it in the dry garage.😂🤣great video Rev.

I watch all the ones you mentioned, but 2 more I watch is pole barn garage and junkyard diggs. Junkyard Diggs is pretty sharp when it comes to a ford.

I love watching you please pray for me I had a death in family

When you get the Pinto all fixes up like you want it that will be real nice car God Bless

Living in sweden, its nice to see how people "over there" live and work on other cars than me, fun if you could get an old volvo to work on😃😃😁

Good Seeing You Back At It Again David, That Was A Funny Joke About That Tesla Fires, LoL!! Have You Seen The SleeperDudes Pint Like Yours, Narley Car!! Glad Hearing Your Fathers Back Home, Doing Better.. Can’t Wait To See What’s Next Rev, Be Blessed!!

Nice work Rev a few extra drain holes in the floor are ok.

I love the 1972 Pinto. Can't wait to see it completely done!

Rev Don’t spend no money on floor pans.. slap some old lisence plates or old sheet metal from a washer or dryer on that thing some under coating. And send it…..

I sometimes will use a die (as in dies and taps) to cut the rust off the bottom of a rusty bolt. You can only go so far, but that bottom is the worst part, so it helps more than it would seem. Pinto has such a clean friendly look, in the front, and the instrument cluster.

Put Puddin’s 302 in the Pinto. Then you can stuff that sweet 390 in Puddin.

I spent 9 years in the Navy. 2 Foreign wars. Got out after Desert Storm.

Hey pastor where is you know who ??lol the ole man

That 2.3 Lima is a good engine. I had two Rangers, an 86, and later a 97, with the EFI version of this engine. The 97 was the best, and the one I wish I kept.

Use an old dog pan metal one😊

I managed to get my hands on some commercial sign aluminum, it makes fantastic floor pans, I just put roofing tar around the perimeter and zip screw it down. works great

this and that garage, good channel also

One of the best channels on youtube. If you like and comment. Might aswell hit that share button. Get this good content out there for the world to see.

My old ‘74 Mustang II had the connectors on the bottom of both seats. That was a seat belt/starter interlock. If someone was in either seat you had to pull the belt to crank the car.

Yeah there may be a little bit of rust but it looks like you can easily tackle that and make it look good. Keep up the great work and the excellent videos. God bless you and your family 👍✌️🇺🇲

go for the Pinto, we saved a 77 Runabout 20 years ago and everywhere we drive that thing people swarm it ,everyone has a Pinto story to share.

Muito bom assistir a vc e ao ole Man.. que Deus continue abençoando vocês.. amém..

David, on that rear hatch. You could slide a short piece of PVC over the skinny end of the strut in place of the vicegrips. Just saying. God bless and good luck and quit swatting at them babies. Lol

Put the 302 out the truck into the green pinto wagon and the 390 in the truck. Be a lot of work but you’d have a really cool wagon and truck in the end.

The Pinto!!!

First car I ever drove was a 1973 Pinto Runabout with a 4 speed. I was 11 years old. My mom bought it new, but I'd rather have the car she traded in on it: a 1964 Pontiac Tempest convertible.

Rev, time to work your intro song back into a video again.

I have always wanted a Pinto. Not many people appreciate them for what they are. I see them all the time that people have put big engines in and turned into race cars and such, but it is not very common to see one that is being restored or preserved in original condition. This one is my my ideal Pinto as well, an early model runabout before they started putting the goofy looking giant bumpers on them.

That is a cool lil pinto, I wouldn't mind having that lil guy, I have a 79 pinto and I love it so much that I am secretly looking for another one.😊 I put a 347 stroker in mine and its quick, a lil too quick; 😅I redid the interior in mine all black, it looks good, just gotta paint _it

How about you finding a 1978 Ford Mercury BobCat hatchback white on green with green interior all factory A/C. P/S. A/T. Factory sun roof with removable sunroof glass and protector sleeve. It was a beautiful car before it went to a junkyard.

Excellent video Rev :) also cert vechile take time to restoration on and never work on Pinto but hear take lots working hours to days to weeks to months about 6 months depending on availability parts to get if needed! One vechile did Rev was old 1960 Jeep C Conversion van in 2008 took 3 years because certain parts were not made no more and change to plus some had made homemade too!

Rev , l watch a lot of the utubers that you do also watch Wes work …

Man. That little pinto would really move with a 289 or 302! But with today's gas prices that little 4 cylinder will do just fine.

POR 15 that Rust it's good stuff

Back in the day when I traveled I took my tool box and a "highway creeper" aka cardboard box along.

I grow cucumbers and yellow beans. But they are picked up long time a go . Here up north the frost comes alot earlier.

Whats up David its cody hope all is well

In my younger days at one time I had several Ford Pintos. I really preferred the hatchback pintos to the ones that had a trunk which was not much you could haul in one. I took three Ford Pinto’s made two Panto run. A friend of mine who owns Haleys Auto and Clarksville Indiana said that I was the only one he ever knew they could do something like that. I’ve also explained to him one time that I had to take all the electrical wiring out of a wrecked Ford Pinto and put the wiring in another Ford Pinto in order to use the engine electronics that Ford Pinto had to have an order for the engine to run. That was one heck of a task to do and a pain in the butt when you’re doing it outside without a garage of any kind. Further on in years I made the mistake of getting married to the wrong girl when I did get married my daddy had all the paint those hauled off to the scrap yard. And a few other cars that I had on the property that belong to my daddy. Do you want to check your engine that I hung on to was a 2000 cc pinto motor. Because it had power and could get better fuel mileage and a lot of racers were modifying them for racing. Instead of using the 2300cc engine which was a pain to get the timing belt on the cam shaft and the distributor lined up correctly. Usually it took close to an hour or more to get everything set back up correctly to top dead center distributor to number one and your cam shaft with the correct mark setting to either advance or said it backwards which I didn’t have the proper tools to do all that other than sending it back to factory specifications. And then putting the timing belt cover in the correct place or Factory pain in the butt. I personally miss the old Ford pintos I wish they could’ve brought them back the only improvement as far as crash and burn what is it they put a thin piece of plastic shield between the gas tank and the rear axle. Look how many cars are out there now manufactured including cars trucks that are crash and burn. Your Chevrolet trucks back in the 69 and 70s had a gas tank behind the seat of the truck. Because Ford Pinto were crash and burn the base that on changing it from behind the seat to putting it between Frame of the truck and the bed body if hit by the side it would crash and burn as well. Look how many Volkswagens had a gas tank in the front people hit a telephone pole head on never did the gas tank rupture catch fire and burn. The American Corvair also had a gas tank mounted in front and the engine in the rear you hit a telephone pole the gas tank never ruptured and the vehicle never caught fire and burn. Today’s cars are all made the same way. All unibody construction not strength in the framework to protect the person from being crashed and burned to death. Now you’ve got your Tesla cars battery powered cars automatically on their own will catch fire and burn.

Dad jokes lol 😂

You use a fish fertilizer, a good one, made from Alaska usually can get it at Walmart stores like that or garden Santa's. It will make your plants flourish. What anything that you're growing? I promise you. It will be so amazing you will not believe it

Rev, I always enjoy your videos. I watch all those same RU-vidrs that you mentioned and really enjoy their channels. I just wish I knew how they get that many views/subs. My channel has 180+ videos and only have just shy of 900 subs. Rarely do I get more than about 50 views per video. I guess my channel just sucks 🙂. Keep 'em Up-N-Runnin!!!

I do like those 2.3 lima engines can handle alot of power for there size.
