Trip to visit 747Mopar in Ohio . . . and put a fork in that pig . . .
Made another weekend trip up to Ohio to visit with 747Mopar and had another great time ( like always ! ! ! )
We spent most of the day on Saturday walking around at the Goodguys Car Show in Columbus - and drooled over all the incredible works of art that were on display.
Then, in the evening, we jumped into the assembly of the pig for the Belvedere Convertible - this required that we make a trip up to Summit Racing ( oh darn ) and I was not at all disappointed when we headed there in his 69 Charger ( man is that thing a work of art too ! ). We picked up a new 3.91 ring and pinion gear set, and all the rest of the necessities to get this pig build . . .
It was a late night, and we tried 2, or, 4, or 5 . . . or - wait - who's counting ! ! ! . . . and about 2AM we called it a night, but had it pretty much nailed down . . . and here's the ring pattern . . . ( I'm very happy with the results - and I worked on the building of this pig along with Devin ! ( he was nice enough to let me work on it too - and learn - this was my first ever pig assembly ))
In the morning, when we thought we had it nailed down, we had a couple surprises, but nothing that a couple more attempts ( and shims ) could not get right . . .
Then on my trip back home - driving through Virginia, I had the opportunity to drive past these street rods ( on the right ) . . . with one very nice wagon !
Thanks Devin - had a great time up there ! ! ! And the time went far too fast . . . we'll have to do it again . . . and soon ! ! !
