NASTY

I think even all caps doesn’t do that justice

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

It had electrolytes...

 

[Docktormike]

you got God Almighty bars in any of those pigs?

 

[Glennmerkel]

@wngrog Come on now. We're slowly but surely getting on the right side of things.
@Docktormike I think so. I'll check when I get home in a few weeks.

I haven’t gotten around to posting in a bit. Nothing too exciting going on around here. I’ve been working on cleaning up this mess. I have to pull the blue and white one all the way over to the right up to the garage to begin the part out. I believe it’s a 79 but there are no tags on it. It is completely rusted out, body and frame, but there are still a bunch of good parts on it.

If all goes well, I’ll be pulling my 76 out of winter storage in the barn on Wednesday. I need to get it up to the garage and put a Cityracer carb on it. It also needs a good cleaning.

And a Drive with the gang

 

[Glennmerkel]

I’m hoping. Or atleast a date night.

 

[PabloCruise]

Oh, does the '79 have grille that is salvageable? I would like to buy it if yes...

 

[wngrog]

I think a distinguished member of the pig community got a first hand look at this hoard first hand last week.

Did you swear him to secrecy Glenn or is he still in a stupor?

 

[Glennmerkel]

@PabloCruise it does but I’m keeping that one for myself. After learning from @J Mack on cooling issues, I think it’ll come in handy for what I’m picking up next week . I got a set of ASCO if you’re still looking. PM me.
@wngrog He wasn’t sworn to secrecy. He can chime in if he likes.

I understand completely my friend!

I always thought I could make a '79 grille out of something else with the help of a plasma cutter, but it sounds like that is false logic...

Cleaned up

After a bath and heading into town, I started hearing some nasty noise coming from under the hood. The motor let go in a glorious fashion where the block broke off at the driver engine mount. There were pieces of cam and block all over the road.
So this was going to go in the 77 but it kind of makes sense to put in the 76 now.

The 76 will be used as a test pig if you will. If I like the install, I’ll do the 77 body on a rotisserie and put it on the 76 frame.

 

[wngrog]

Bump for updates from the farm.

 

[Megadoomer]

I thought he was trying to sell all of them not so long ago.
