This is just too weird, you are in Battleground Im up here in Gig Harbor,
I too have bed off, the bedwood will be here on Monday, Finished my carrier bearing yesterday(had press), three new ujoints, Replaced leaky yoke seal too, all new shackle and leaf spring bushings too. We live in a parallel universe, plus we are both quarantined to home by the same governor. If you are drinking a grape soda while you are reading this, I'm buying a Ouija Board.

Ha...not drinking grape soda, and, fortunately, I'm still working outside of home due to my job.
After dealing with that carrier bearing I went out and bought a 30 ton press last night; should have bought one a long time ago but always made due with ingenuity or a big hammer. I finally got it off but that bearing was the final straw.

I wish I would of bought my press 35 years ago, but at least I have been getting some really good use out of it these days. Odd how many people have came over and pressed a few bearings on and off for them. I plan on hitting the filling station in oregon later this year (summer)and pick up some stuff for my 64, if you need anything I can drop it by on the way back.

work continues on my 1968 GMC fleetside with the 351E V6:
10.) all lights, indicators, blinkers, etc. were repaired
11.) fixed the wipers

I've been hauling quite a bit of sand and gravel lately with this old beast and it does a great job, I love the low end torque of this big displacement V6.

I’m in the process of buffing out my original paint in an effort to preserve what I have left...

Interesting assortment of vehicles in the background! Looks like James Dean's Porsche on the left.

That Spyder has the Type IV motor like the 912’s and 914’s. In fact it’s a 1.7 liter out of a 914. Not souped up by any means but still fun. My friends hangar actually, no room for aircraft though

I always liked 914s. My son used to have one. My next door neighbor has two of them. One of my son's former neighbors had three of them.

I assume your Spyder is a "tribute" car? Incidentally, my son's email address is Spydersan.

Robert B...I like your vehicle assortment! I too have a split VW...a '65 doublecab. I've been into those a long time. If only I kept my '61 15 window...
Or, I had an opportunity to purchase '65 912 15 years ago in excellent condition for $7k. I didn't have the money then but, if only I had known. Still looking for VWs and a 912.
Anyway, nice truck it is definitely my favorite color of these.

For my update...my bed replacement is almost done. All the wood is fitted and drilled I'm just trying to decide what to finish it with. I don't want to paint it as I want to see the wood grain but pretty tough to find UV resistant clears. I'm leaning towards Sikkens...anyone have any thoughts?
