First Time Pig "Build"

[Midgainc]

UOTE=Delancy;8936758]That's the extent of care, at this point. If it delays the project, would rather know its right.

A side project related, to attend to in the next year....

Gonna have OE, period correct AC, regardless of inefficiency.

This will be stored for the time being, but hopefully can figure out a plan to mechanically restore, if not update as well.[/QUOTE]

Pretty sure....

Pretty sure....

Those early Yoda ones do resemble Yorks, I think they are just less efficient.

Sounds about right....which is why it may clean up and be installed to look at.

Haven't given it much thought, but I'm betting it'll be a chore to get it all functioning, even if inefficiently.

They cost too much.....

Hope to swing by tomorrow. Last I was there, the PS rocker was off for final internal coating and welding, so it could be re-tacked, then doors hung to ensure proper alignment.

It's going slllooooooiwwwwwwww.

Honestly, this was a complete accident, but won't complain.

Anxiously awaiting payment address for seller, whom I've spoken to on phone, but otherwise do not know, so hoping for the best.

Very good deal if they're in the condition they appear in the pics. Perfect for a resto.

He claimed from a '72, but don't see the cutout for TC shifter. Hmmm.

I don't know Chris, I think the hole is there. The mat is just turned funny or maybe I've been smelling house paint too long , today.

Thinking there's a couple of holes that weren't visible in iPhone.

Heard of a few different methods to patch. Hoping for best.

Found out these are from the same seller who currently has a Pig on eBay.



I'm bidding on rear light covers he has, not sure why...I don't think I "need".

 

[bobm]

Chris, don't bid. I have some.

Thanks Bob.

Inner tailgate valance?

Thanks Bob.

 

[Delancy]

Yes, sir.

The '71 didn't want to relinquish her's without a fight that resulted a 2.5 gallon bucket full of rust on the floor....

 

[scrapdaddy]

Quality parts and quality work add up to an outstanding 55. That area can collect a lot of debris, mud, etc.

 

[Delancy]

And one helluva bill....
