One Bad Piglet

[Denny]

How many times have we told you, you got to use locknuts! Regular nuts just rattle loose and fall off then the bolts fall out.

 

[Grizzlymi]

Are you painting the Piglet?!?!?

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Yuppers. A fresh coat of pink.

 

[Grizzlymi]

Rusto sweat pea, or hot pink!

Did that can actually come with a Piglet sticker?

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Haha. Yeah, um, it's the Official paint.

 

[Denny]

For some unknown reason I actually believe you.

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

Oh, d-d-d-dear!

 

[Hellion]

Oh, d-d-d-dear!

Required reading (the link at a mimimum), perhaps. Helps you understand Piglet and his virtue.

Spoiler

Piglet is shown to possess great power—a common interpretation of the word Te, which more commonly means Virtue—not only because he is small, but also because he has a great heart or, to use a Taoist term, Tz'u.

 

[Denny]

Hellion, you have too much free time on your hands.

Piglet is small but has great power, power to buck you off the seat. Shame about that sissy wheel on the back though, takes the peril out of it. Anyways, it seemed fitting.

Hellion, you have too much free time on your hands.

I can't possibly have more free time than you, Mister 10K. Pot and kettle.

Saw this at the store and though it would be helpful. A brillo pad on an arbor.
It took the oxidation off quickly with out taking the original paint down to bare metal. Was just about the right "grit" too. Very little hand sanding needed.



Check this out. I removed a sticker and the OEM color vs the faded color.



Then gave it all some primer.

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Then started in on the pink.









Sand blasted the rotor and sprocket.
The rotor is stainless i think. I like the finish so I left it alone. The sprocket i gave a clear coat.

Pepto Bismol pink. I love it! I here by dub the “The Pepto Cruiser”!

I was content with "berry pink" as said on the can.

You had to go ruin it now.

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

While waiting on paint to dry....

Peeled the rubber off the rims. The rear wouldn't hold air. The tires are so old they leak everywhere. New ones on the way.

Have I ever said how much I detest fix-a-flat?

 

[Denny]

Hey, I’d be more concerned about finding out who shat in those tires.

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

If i find out it was you Denny, im gonna.....

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

I have a problem.
I 'just have to' get a bigger carb, exhaust, cam for this thing. I dont know why. Wheelies and spinning tires arent enough I guess.

Just some waiting on parts rambling....

Denny your right. This muffler is a butt burner. I think a center exit with the screw-on can will fit and look nice.
Any experience with those from the peanut gallery?

Then give a mouse a cookie.
If exhaust then why not carb.
Then if carb then head work.
If head work then cam.
If cam then rod...

Does it end?
