I am indebted to yotadude for the help he has offered me on my pig, so I called him up yesterday AM to see if there was any projects he was working on for the 60. He was enroute to get parts, and was actually going to install the tank and he was determined to get the rig running. I came over and...

Would totally love to grab this but I got a trip out of the country that is putting me back in the funds department. Good luck with sale.

At this point we were flying higher than Rick James at a Mike Tyson fight, and we were super eager to get El Cochiloco on the road. We went and got some Dino juice in some buckets, and we returned, I realized that I was missing the keys. Actually, I knew that I was missing the keys all along. My...

Earl's did not have the gasket either for the Tstat, so we bought some gasket maker and some road sodas for inspiration so I could professionally to fab one up. I and really thinking about potentially starting a small business where I make replacement Tstat gaskets because this thing looks, and...

This weekend we were back at it. @yotadude520 came through with momentum to get the pig all fired up, and due to a porch-pirate stealing my clutch MC, he kindly ordered a new one and got it same-day delivered via Ama-son. 7:30 start time, s***, I wish I was as spry as I once was, but I still...

Assuming you aint near Southern AZ with them tall pines in the background...

I just ordered a new clutch MC, and Tstat, should make more progress this weekend when i get back from Phoenix. Thank you all to the Pigpen for shaming me into getting this pig running. Obligatory Rancher Build engine bay money shot.

.... But Edgar's Wonderful Horrible Life is never cut and dry, so when we were buttoning everything up, Will checked the clutch, weak sauce. We bled it and got a little firm, so we weren't going to test our luck with driving the rig, particularly since we were burning the midlight oil and the...

Brake bleeding is not a glamorous job, so therefore, there is no documentation of this process. Long story short, the job was a success and the pedal is nice and firm. Rookie Mistake on my part to fill up the radiator with Tucson's finest aquafina, which according to Will is a close second to...

Assessment phase The pig has been posted for 2 years without moving an inch, so we went down to Vato Zone to pick up the materials needed: steering wheel puller and extra fluid for the brake job. Will and I share a mutual appreciation for road soda indulgence, which is of particular importance...

I am not one to stretch the truth. I know my capabilities, what I can do, and when to admit I do not know a ******* thing about anything. Fixing brakes is something I’m not going to delve into and risk my life based on an assumption that I know what I’m doing. Due to the solicitation I received...

What up fellas! Shoot, man. My pig is just in hibernation, I’m so close to being complete it’s quite embarrassing. I just need to get my brakes done up and my steering wheel replaced to be a runner. As always, this thing would never be “complete,” but it appears that life has taken my focus...

PS, other vatos are welcome to come grab a brew or two at the HOPSHOP with me and the OGBeno.
