Flying Pig!! (1 Viewer)

[PabloCruise]

Not much cruiser time except driving to town a few times but cool things are happening!!

Tomorrow the wife and I start LONG road trip to Winters, CA to pick up 79 cruiser project. Mostly done body and everything else for a proper build from the well trusted fellow pig brother @Pigeaten (Don).

Hard to believe the luck in finding project in such nice shape to merge with Delancys mechanically complete old pig.

Few stops on way to help with some mud shipping but wife and I going to have a ball seeing what Route 66 sites we can.

Looks like it is even a nice color choice! @bobm will love it!

Father in law letting me use his super nice car hauler since ours loaded with our belongings. Didn’t know it was high end aluminum and it pulls very nice! Don’t think mine would make it back with all its body panels!

With last name of Hamilton I’ve had a lifetime of answering to the Nick name “Hammy”.

So Hammy’s pig transport is ready for tomorrows epic road trip with my wonderful supportive wife!

760 miles one mudship pickup in ABQ and wife and I arrived in Gallup, NM a little while ago.

Staying at the historic El Rancho Hotel where many Hollywood stars stayed. Pics signed by stars line the walls, Katherine Hepburn, John Wayne, Gregory Peck and the list keeps going. Pretty nostalgic for sure. I’d loved to get the John Wayne room for the night but it was taken.

Worth a stop if anyone travels through this way.

We are loving it! Already listened to “Take it easy” as we are passing through Winslow as I type!

Gonna get all our obligations taken care of then we’re gonna stop at all the sites on way home!

Wife and I drove our 280ZX from California to Georgia and didn't appreciate the significance of where we were until that song came on. Call it total coincidence or whatever but we were going through a drive through on a corner in Winslow at the time. That was 1986.

Again, safe travels Jon.

Thanks Greg, I too had a 82 280zx back in the day. Great car!!

Waiting for wife to get around as I’m waiting patiently. Kinda like Christmas in November! Don tells me I get to meet @55guy and @Half Wacked aka Split Pea , little under 5 hours away.

Wife still having fun but I did have to explain swine fever was a real thing, they just don’t understand.

Winslow, check out my signature picture.

 

[greenbeast]

Wow, what an afternoon with some great folks! Big thanks to @55guy his brother @Half Wacked aka Split Pea and lastly @Pigeaten. Won’t find a better group of people, you cannot say enough about the folks in the pig pen!

Cheers

Not much room between the Pig roof and the top of the car hauler, eh?
Can you squish the springs down with the straps?
I would hate for you to go over some high speed bumps and bounce the pig off the ceiling of the car hauler.
I bet you guys already thought of all that...
