Flying Pig!! (8 Viewers)

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

Thats exactly what I thought also although I only briefly looked at them while moving things. I'm no expert in the PIG world but I don't consider myself a newbie either. I couldn't imagine going through all the parts with limited knowledge of where or what it pertains to.

 

[bobm]

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.

Ya lot of good stuff. Shame to see it go to waste. Hope you find it? Does Chris's wife have an idea ????

I am certain I have the back seat to that lost pig.

After reading that thread I couldn't help but reach out to see if Lori knew who it was but she didn't. She said she would look through receipts after I mentioned when it happened but I told her not to bother we would figure it out one way or another.

I'm sure she is looking through the receipts and I'm gonna feel bad..

 

[bobm]

I wouldnt feel bad! She probably wants to. It will make her feel better doing it. Person in question built high end Mustang restos in the area! Thats why I mentioned Ass garage!!!! Not sure but It seemed like a link and time of new shop leader was very close!! Assumption only.

Dallas has reached out to some mustang knowledgeable folks this afternoon and no one knew anyone by the name of Britt. We have some other clues we’re going to follow up on though.

Search is on and won’t stop till it’s in my sights!

 

[greenbeast]

Lori must have that Title in their stash, I doubt it could have gone very far without that.

Of course inspection plates could have been removed and sold as shell to someone…

As mentioned previously the wheels were doing nothing for me. I took it upon myself to steal the tires and wheels off the wife's 40 project while reassuring her it would be fine!

Well she is going to love the pig, then she is gonna turn around and probably going to share her distaste for her 40. To make things worse the old wheels wouldn’t clear the rear axle drums. To make things even worse, I need to have a roller in little over a week to clear the shop for flooring so Kurt at Cruiseroutfitters getting another order from me shortly.

If anyone ever runs into their lab dropping a tennis ball down a drain without a cover, cause I’m sure it happens all the time, shop vac worked great for the extraction process.

Back to the Aluminum wheels?? Shine em up might change ya mind

 

[RUSH55]

Can’t beat the look of stock steels on a pig!

El Cheapo white spokes from the local tire shop for the 40 until you get another set of stockers?

ADHD, here's perfect example

1. Carried paint cleaner, degreaser paper towels and sponges. Wire brushes and sand paper to shop from house. Got distracted and left it on front of my wheeler.
2. Only carried in the degreaser to do test area in back, then realized I needed water which I didn't want to spend time going to house and getting
3. Address front bumper with paint remover, set up saw horse's outside. Decide to hammer out small dent in bumper with wood and small sledge. 14mm wrench not in tool pouch, but 13 & 15 are so I go on search for a 14mm with the limited tools I have in shop. Find 14mm socket 1/4 inch but only have 1/2 inch wrench. Decide to just use the small wrench, after few cranks realize going to take forever so I move on.
4. Put old battery on charger so I can leave it in back of cargo area for when I can tackle window.
5. See Mothers vinyl cleaner in shop I recently bought. Tackle one side of a old visor but hands dirty and keep messing up my work.
6. Take wet rag and wipe down dash
7. Try and budge the hood latch again with big ass screwdriver, it doesn't budge.
8. Try and place heat tape around shifter after wife picked up from O'Reillys, then don't know where knife is, could have looked in tool belt but didn't think of it.
9. Disconnected battery so I wouldn't forget about it.
10. closed windows in shop, shut off lights and left for dinner.

All this within an hour. Overall pretty productive...Ha

Which raises question if anyone has had success with a good pewter grey from Autozone or Napa for the bumper instead of buying from Cruiser Corps?

Sounds like you were in my shop, and you might want to get tested for ADD

Just described every ****ing minute of my Abbynormal day . Every single day.

 

[greenbeast]

@bobm who says that Abbynormal!!!

It was fueled by my listening to Merle Haggards greatest hits on Spotify!! I seem to be much more focused on my 38 Special southern rock radio!

 

[Pigeaten]

I call it random multitasking, feels normal to me, everyone else out of whack

 

[bobm]

Mine is fueled by a ruputered SAH in the Acom 8 + years ago . 1 of 8% that survive . Once past the 6 year point of Rupture odds are on my side, but not without major deficits that platuaed at 2nd year . Still here and to ****ing stubborn to die

 

[bobm]

Oh and 38 special is awesome
