I went back today and finished my floor pan wire wheeling and painting.

Then sprayed some more Fluid Film. Then I decided it would be a good idea to go blow up a birf on my 60 and spend the next 2.5 replacing that. Pretty good Sunday overall.

@Gimme a 60

Take note of the help…

A 60 birfield is pretty tough, must of been a good trail.

Nope, tree stump. I have a lockrite in the front of my 60 and I’m learning why people hate them.

That’s a lot of money and I’m poor, hence the lockrite. I’ll put some RCVs or Longfields in it on day, when I do an 80 FF in the back and Tundra brakes in the front.

Congrats on the Pig @cruiserinsanity following your progress for sure. I thought that was @Godwin 80, sounds like you boys had fun getting it home

When using the Rustoleum paint grab a can of "PAE3008 Acrylic Enamel Wet Look Hardener - Pint Can - AE Paints and Catalyst for Many Brands of Enamel Paints" from Amazon..

Not only dries quicker but dries harder. More better!

700 mile round trip swing through AL and MS this weekend to pick up parts for this The Dirty Pig From Paris - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/the-dirty-pig-from-paris.1376846/

First stop was in south MS at an undisclosed location to load up with Pig parts. Seats, radiator, NOS windshield, and a couple or three tubs of loose parts. From there we drove north to the Tilda Bogue Pick 'N Pull. Got in before dark but not by much. Hung out with Grogan for an hour or so and looked for parts. He has a couple of nice Saudi Cruisers, an 80 with a diesel and 100, both have manual 5 speeds, and low mileagen and both are for sale. We camped at the shop, had to take cover about 0400 when a storm rolled through. Next morning loaded a 2F, a set of Saudi split rims, and a whole metric butt load of other parts for the pig. My son @cruiserinsanity is building this Pig.

@Godwin and I made a run to Mississippi to see @USMC22 to get the rest of the Pig parts then up to @wngrog to get a 2F and some other small stuff for the Pig.

I have almost all the pieces to put the Pig back together again. I’ll be going to Arkansas to get an H42 soon and I need to track down a passenger rear window.

Damn. I have windows. How did you miss the parts pigs?

Traveling to Canton on weekend of May 16th and in Auburn area the next day if we can help with transport of the windows.
