I got my pig out of hibernation and drove it last week. I want to start daily driving it, but we keep getting snow. I picked up a new/used door for it today.
What did you do to your pig today?

Got the tailgate window regulator motor working. Installed a new pass. side fender.
Took her out for some random wheeling. Good times
Brought both Arnold and Chester out from hibernation. To my amazement the both started right up after sitting since Thanksgiving. Can't wait to start driving them again - it's been way too long. Happy days ahead 
Picked this up at the So Cal Swapmeet yesterday

no
I replaced the booster and master with an 80 series one this week.
Not real sure the best way to put the brackets in. I'm leaning towards welding 16 ga. strips in the length of the seat bracket. Only thing is moisture would be able to get in where I drill the holes for the bracket.

probably not. There's a set I could take out here in town and put in- but they wouldn't really work with the bracket I bought.
I like the bench seat, but probably won't be going with one ever.
There's a seat I could grab, but it would need reupholstered, repadded, etc.

upper fenders, lower fenders, project visors, couple rear doors, hinges, etc.
upper fenders are solid, the lowers will make a better fender along with mine than what I have.

thinking about rebuilding the front end on the blue pig....it's the thought that counts, right?
left side looked like backwoods goop. all buttoned up now, but out of grease, so beer thirty, it is.
Painted and installed the new-to-me well travelled hood from Nuclearlemon. No more rusty hood.
