Mini build thread

Man, that does hurt looking at the before picture. What, I guess the body needs to be blasted again and treated right next go round.

yep, i need to step back and think before i act(a new thing for me), thats why i have left tailgate alone on Steve

I don’t know, I’m not really seeing the despair here. There’s some surface rust on the roof and floorboards. Big deal. I’ve seen threads where guys had to deal with sh*t 10 times worse than this. Are you physically unable to do body and paint work? Is there nobody nearby that can give you a hand? You’re seriously looking at a handful of weekends to get this back together. I understand the decision to sell because you already have multiple other projects - this looks like an outstanding opportunity for someone looking to pick up a project Cruiser!

 

[wngrog]

Yeah. Sell it to someone that’s looking for a nice Pig project. She fine.

That’s what I would like, someone to take it, I think it’s a solid pig, just needs some love.

Looks great, blast it. Great project.

Drag it up to Idaho and we can jam it back together and throw some paint on it. Too nice of a pig to part out IMHO.

I don’t really think I could part out, gotta few people talking, hopefully someone will make it whole again

I’d be interested for sure if it was in Idaho. I could even pick it up in Boise. But California is a long way...

told my wife I'm feeling a little insecure, down to 2, she looked at me and said get your pigs in order! that means running and driving. YES MA'AM!

so this is the end of the mini build thread, from start, stall at body shop, to struggling with what to do, this pig will live again in Texas, Steve at Northwest Design and Fab in Texas picked it up last night. I was raining and we were soaked by the time he pulled out. He is a 55 guy, has many, and said he was trying to make this years pig party. so there she goes- maybe see you on the trail

 

[wngrog]

Congrats all around

 

[Pigeaten]

I think he is , but not to active, hope I didn’t rat him out here, his wife may not know he bought another in Ca. She might think he is just out with the boys

Steve’s new owner has not come out yet, he was having a little body work done , he might be a little shy. Hope he shows his face

 

[riderjgs]

More like a wishful thinker.

I prefer “optimist”
