working on putting the PIG back together...

 

[montyorpenn]

Added rear springs to have enough clearance from the 33's.

Snow Storm 2012

They sure do look good in snow.

 

[onemanarmy]

which helper springs did you use to clear the 33s? front and rear? those are 33x10.5 correct?

 

[montyorpenn]

I put the 1500 lb. Superior Over Leaf Spring Assist on the driver side rear to correct the sagging on that side. Previous owner must have put a 2 in shackle. Works good on my PIG for 6 months now.
Yes, tires are 33x10.5 MT.

going to have to get the body hot for a long time before you paint it now...all that primer is soaking up the moisture and starting the rusting process again primer is very porous

Front driveshaft was fabritcated / installed and works good on 4WD and fun in the snow. Emergency brake was hooked up and the front heater. I'm working on the speedometer cable, since this PIG was converted from 3 speed to 4 speed. This is scheduled to the paint shop mid 3/13.

Monty,

Did you fix the rocker and rear corner or is the body shop going to handle all that. Must be a good feeling to be getting that close, to being finished.

 

[montyorpenn]

scrapdaddy,

the body shop will do the rocker and the rear corner. yes, it's a good feeling to be almost finished with this PIG.

 

[montyorpenn]

Was able to find a speedometer and speedo cable from 74 PIG. I have a working speedometer now. I found some coolant leak under the front seat. Most likely heater hose.

 

[montyorpenn]

Brought the PIG to local shop for body work(2 corners in pic) and paint.

Paint will be: Niagara Green T1287
Cygnus White T012

 

[scrapdaddy]

Monty,

Questions: Are you getting the inside done, etc. I'm just trying to get an idea as to what they're charging to paint everything, these days.

It's going to look nice, man.

 

[montyorpenn]

Thank you. Yes, everything inside(door jams, flooring, cargo area, inside of roof(before installing the new headliner)) will be painted Cygnus White. Painting is about 2K - 2.5K to include the bodywork needed.

When I bought this Pig, all parts were in boxes. I need picture of the dash knobs switches(below the rear glass switch)...

Thanks scrapdaddy

Niagara Green - I don't think I have seen that before.
Is that the green you are currently sporting?

 

[montyorpenn]

Currently Rustic Green was primered by PO 3 1/2 yrs ago.

 

[Fitzgerald]

Any idea when you'll get her back?

 

[montyorpenn]

Hopefully 1st or 2nd week of May. Painting the inside will start end of next week or 3rd week of April because of cold weather here in PA.
