maiden voyage(s) for pigwald this weekend

[toddslater]

Nothing to special to report...over xmas put new rear wheel cylinders in and rebuild the front calipers...ended up with an old MC as the new one from JTO was garbage. Put the IPOR p-steering bracket in and I must say P-steering is soooo nice. Fabbed up some new heater lines from the firewall back to the rear heater out of copper tubing...complete with insulation....and have done a bunch of small PITA things to numerous to mention. But with brakes and some record breaking nice weather this weekend....ended up burning 1/2 tank of gas driving it here and there. Here is a pic or two prior to be put back in the g-rage this afternoon.

Now for some brain dead funny shiite...so last weekend (12/30) went to the local tag service (Wiggins) and gave them all the stuff necessary for getting the PA title and wanted to transfer an antique plate from a 73 TVR to this pig. Paid the fare gave them the obligatory 4 pics that you need for antique..etc...

Well I get home today and there was a vmail on my machine at home from Wiggins....they said the State has rejected my application due to the fact that their is a trailer hitch installed. They said to remove said hitch and take 4 more pics and bring them in and tha State would gleefully finish said paperwork.

Pure friggin geneious at work here in PA .....maybe I'll just phot chop it ...easier then wrestling with rusty bolts.

That is it!! I was on the fence about painting my top blue, but it looks so right!! Nice Piggy!

In my mind my 55 looks kind of like that...but the one I have probably didn't look that good right out of the factory.

 

[toddslater]

It's purdy scouthead....but not that purdy. Believe me I can see some spots where I could have spent a little more time...but thanks for the props. At some point I'll wet sand and buff out the dirt thats in it....some point....

It has a way to go before I'm done...but it's a solid act...well worth the effort.

Thanks again to Rhino for the solid starter pig
