Do you know what thread those might be in?

 

[bobm]

Ron's right! Chris probably just happy it aint sitting there and knows you'll take good care of it.

No, but I'm sure it was his thread about the rust bucket. Hey, you're one of the search masters around here.

It ain’t sitting for sure, 3 folks asked this morning if it was a scout!! Still in town enjoying small town Main Street.

 

[bobm]

Someone said that to me a while back too. I laughed and pointed towards grille.

 

[greenbeast]

Personally Bob, I see very little being the same between the two but if you’re gonna take a guess maybe it’s the closest to anything they have seen.

These are rare enough everywhere else but in Oklahoma ver few have ever been seen I bet.

 

[RUSH55]

I’ll see what I can find…

 

[xtiaan2000]

The scout was a prettt cook rig as well. Of coarse not a Pig, but still cool.

 

[bobm]

Ya and selling for big $ too.

 

[RUSH55]

I think this must have been Delancey’s first pig. From what I’ve gone through, I didn’t notice any names. There was a good looking blonde fabricator who did some work for him. Whatever her name is has my vote.

Yup thats it. Blonde more like multi color, yup got close ups . High end Mustang restorer left Chris hanging on this one. They tried to duplicate some parts and could'nt . Then I showed up

 

[greenbeast]

Well just read through that thread. Recognize a few parts from various mudders I have. It appears in some form or fashion a lot of his rare parts went with the rusty pig.

I won't even speculate as to what happened with this PIG but I do think Dallas and I will make this a mission to see where it is.

Sad, just breaks my heart to see how much Chris put into that PIG and nothing to show for it.

 

[RUSH55]

Yeah, he looks to have spent a major amount of time on sheetmetal repair.
Need to add it to the sheetmetal repair compilation thread.

In that thread is where Chris was rebuilding a carb and was looking for another to see how his went together. I sent him one from my parts pig and told him to keep it. One day a package shows up, my old carb, but totally rebuilt by JimC. the carb guru. That's just how Chris was, very appreciative of friends helping.

Ron
I have two carbs in boxes I haven't taken out of packaging. I do recall some small straps you sent and I am pretty sure those are in the stash. HArd for me to tell what goes on an 80 and what doesn't. My phone doesn't work well at barn to do parts search. Thats my next task tonight since rain drove me inside from unloading the trailer further.

I do have those new fenders in a gigantic crate...

 

[bobm]

PMd me looking for metal for the Crusty missing one! I say what are you looking for and Chris says everything you make . I say No! What exactly do you need and Chris says everything you got ! Are you positively sure thats what you want, and Chris says yes! So there's enough to replace entire floor pan from firewall to back seat bump up and rockers and fender patches all body mounts and floor supports and rear valance under tailgate that his So Called EXPERT couldnt reproduce. If you can find it, another saved.

 

[greenbeast]

Yeah Bob, i saw all those incredible parts you made. I could sure use those rockers and some other parts you made!! I know i have 4 smaller pieces still left. Everything else went to the 72 if I recall that was the correct year.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Yeah, I think those are for the tool bag hold down straps?

 

[greenbeast]

I can only pray we locate it and its something that can be worked with to get back, its been a good while since.
