(04-09-2009) Progress?


So, last night I started working on the rear wheels for the Beetle project. They're smoothing out and looking a little better. I placed the wheel on the car, and ran the car as a makeshift lathe to smooth and polish the wheels.

On the 1930 pickup things are progressing. Found a place that has lots of parts for these old trucks, but I found that the truck isn't a 1930, but it's a 1931 or 32 model. It was built in Kansas City, Mo. and came from the factory with dual wheels - but that's about all you can gather from the VIN tag. As soon as we figure out the exact year, we can order a rebuild kit for the carburetor and fuel pump, as well as all of the rubber needed to cool the engine.
