Bacon Across America—road trip Summer ‘19

[Pigeaten]

1) he’s ok so that’s a win
2) he doesn’t get jacked on ins. It was hard to get any because he’s 19. The declared values places wouldn’t work with him. Nada ranges from $12,900-$65,000 so, um, yeah, it’s in there somewhere...
3) buy it back and get it home for ???? Another cross county on a trailer
Dam! Glad everyone is ok. I just took a deposit on shell. Not sure if that guy would sell,
Good luck
fingers crossed, prayers said, virgin sacrifices complete, just a waiting game now.

That F-N sucks!

Do you still have his old ute? Its not the same, but might take the edge off the lost and stop him from buying something sensible like a Honda.

 

[RUSH55]

Maybe he just needs a Honda

NOT the update I was looking to see when I opened this thread, damn.

Glad to hear everyone is ok, and hope the insurance company don't screw you too hard.

not the update I was hoping to share

insurance pending. @TachedOutOffRoad is a huge help with dealing with the insurance bastards.

Chalk it up as experience. Being able to walk away from a crash is the important thing.

I know your pain, I had a classic BMW run into and was about to put the guy in hospital when he said "I didn't see you and just pulled out". Thankfully some of the damage (Steering box internals) wasn't discovered on first inspection and it was fixed later, but I was expecting it to be written off ( totaled).

You'll find another cool ride, just might take some time.

So, the Pig is back in Alabama. After dicking with the insurance for months, they have pretty much agreed to total it and let Seth buy the wrecked pig back/ keep it. Just arguing about value right now.

We are on the search for a mediocre body (or better) with a few states of Alabama if possible to do a body swap. Doesn’t need to run or even have running gear at all. Just a average or above main pig body. Any leads are welcome to help keep her alive.

Sad pics, hope you find the resources for rebirth.

Erin Tucker on FB had a '77 body a few months ago. Don't know if she still has it, but if so, she's outside Nashville. Don't have a contact, but you can find her on FB.

Glad to see him and the puppy were not hurt. Good luck with the search for a body.

Sounds like she has a few! She bought some from Daniel in Ft Rucker.

Thanks for the lead!!!!!

Wondering if this 69 would fit your mediocre description. Tailgate , roof rack and front bumper are gone now. Needs front floors, rockers and some rear sheet metal work, but yours for the preservation of a pig. Send me a pm if interested.

I've been there before, it sucks. Glad everyone is OK!

 

[RUSH55]

Tell them to just get a 70 series instead, eh Ben?

Seems like a good start for a rebuild. Took 5 Pigs to build mine.

Is there any other answer? The superior 70 series.

 

[TachedOutOffRoad]

Trying to work a deal on this and a good fender.

Thanks all!
