Build The Warthog - 1977/73 combo

I agree. Most will be sold to fund the Parts O Pig

 

[wngrog]

Hood. Bezel. Eyeballs. Vent covers.

Almost have a watertight pig.

I did the in tank douche today. There is 24 gallons of vinegar and 2# of baking soda boiling away in the fuel tank. Ill let it sit till tomorrow and drain it and flush it all out and then see how it all looks in there after.

Thanks to those that chimed in on direction.

Also the guy that I got the 77 from is also the guy with the Australian RHD 55

It's the donor for my split rims as well as this piece of Cruiser awesome that got installed today

 

[scrapdaddy]

Love the bull bar and would of liked to seen the look you got buying all that vinegar!

 

[wngrog]

My best buddy owns a restaurant. It's how they clean their drains so he was the man with the Sysco account!

 

[wngrog]

OK. Surgery was successful but I think this must mean the gear in the motor is stripped. Correct?




Also, is this the correct orientation for the motor assembly?

 

[wngrog]

 

[onemanarmy]

Yea...time for a brass gear.

 

[scrapdaddy]

I'm thinking you're jammed up, but I would take it apart and check. The gear needs a good cleaning and re greased anyhow.

 

[wngrog]

Yea...time for a brass gear.

Who sells them now?

 

[scrapdaddy]

I believe Spector does.

[onemanarmy]

wow. I'm in the wrong business.

 

[wngrog]

I spent the morning before church flushing and drying the pig tank.

Vinegar out. Water in. Water out.

Shop Vac on blow. Not perfect but way better.

Douche - o - Rama

Then I jumped in Patina and went to church and to help my buddy install Slee Sliders on his TRDPro, motor mounts in his 40 and worked the tailgate on a Pig

 

[wngrog]

Got home and filled the tank 4/5 with non-ethanol. Installed the monster screw on fuel filter and went for a nice long drive on the farm.

I think the desmog will have this thing 100% good.

Stoked.

 

[wngrog]

Digging through all of the 77 parts. Bagged and labeled. Amazing.

 

[geologic]

Can't believe you ditched the a/c

 

[wngrog]

Can't believe you ditched the a/c

Funding the project with itself. It's a different challenge.

 

[geologic]

Yes definitely, but the idea is to preserve the pig and a/c was a rare gem that's useful in MS

 

[wngrog]

The original idea really wasn't to preserve the Pig, it's was to add a Pig to inventory for the farm for the price of labor.

It will be more complete than I ever imagined but reviving the AC would have been a big hit. I'd rather spend that cash making it safe and a good runner.
