That is one seriously nice Pig.

 

[pmccraney]

Its super clean and awesome.

However, like @ntsaint said, 2 tone is what sets a piggy apart.

 

[Bossman]

Easy fix

 

[wngrog]

Finishing up some areas is a good feeling.

Engine compartment is done.

Interior is clean and ready for the seats.

Next steps

Glass and headliner.

Paint and body.

Roll.

@fountainhead do you have a 77 Pig wiring diagram I can print out? I've got a few gremlins to chase

 

[fountainhead]

I think I can find one.

I've got what I believe to be a complete '75 Pig wiring harness too.

 

[fountainhead]

These are not the best, but they should work:

What color(s)?

What color(s)?

It was originally Freeborn and white so the cruiser geek in me has to put it back that way

Only way to go. On top of that, inevitably, something red still exists somewhere on the body

 

[wngrog]

It's weird. The pig seems to have been sandblasted and primed before it was abandoned.

The only sign of true color was inside the gas door. It was Freeborn.

That said I put the non locking gas door from my parts Pig on this truck and sold the locking door.

The parts Pig was really that nasty Marroon red and white.

It gonna get a full two-bucket resto on the bodywork or just knock the loose stuff off and put some color down?

I'm for the latter. The painter is for the former.

We will meet in the middle I'd guess

Fixed. I know I left it in the woods at your farm to die, but you gotta at least footnote my contributions to this frankenpig.

Haha. Yes yes.

I'm gonna be like one of those shady heirs in the S-town podcast. I'll re-enter the picture with my hand out when you sell the project one day. Or, maybe I'll play the role of Tyler Goodson - enter Tilda Bogue in the color of darkness and take all the doors and tailgate off your property before you sell it.

All kidding aside, you picked it up for me; you gave me the choicest parts in the pile and then rolled into your woods. At that point, it became yours. Glad that s*** is getting used. I would have never done anything with any of it.

 

[wngrog]

It's gonna be one while POS Pig in a month.

That's legit.
