I struck a deal with a guy that wants to do the paint, rockers and headliner in my Pig yesterday.

I'm going to move fast this weekend to get it ready.

Pull all the parts that will be replaced.

Organize the parts for him to bolt back on

Prep and rust proof frame.

wow... do you even own a parachute?
 
I think I get that......

Yeah I go fast. May spiral into the ground for sure.

I'm super happy to be done with this after Sunday. I've been a bit obsessed and my farm has suffered.

This am after the rust treatment cured I painted it all and pulled the old stuff off.

After my work Appt at lunch I grabbed my seats from the local upholstery dude.

$700 out the door and they look superb.

I'm SUPER stoked that my 73 seat mount worked with my 77 seat bracket. All I had to do was Hammer the front of the mount 90* and drill a hole I the front of the mount.

60 series are easy from what I hear...62 series OTOH...
 
My club had its annual crawfish Boil today. I had visitors from Turkey, Sacramento, Santa Barbara, Houston, Wichita Falls, and Monroe LA pass through on the way.

We took it upon ourselves to explore my farm in the relics

Pig ran great. Got the @beno seal of approval.

Now to wash the MS Mud off. Cut the driver rocker off and hand it off to the paint man.
 
I got under it and got yesterday's fun off and started blasting away at 40 years of grease buildup

After paint I'll get under here and baseline the frame with Rust Proofing.

And just like that my 64 day obsession is out of here. Gone to get the headliner and glass installed, 2x4 rockers, and paint.

Hope to see her again one day.

Going back with OEM Freeborn Red and Cynus White.
