Naptime in the woodie

Went camping, Brought the garage

Ready for a little time off

Now cooler than ever...

The air is on! My good friends at Trappe Auto repair took time out to charge the A/C today.. thanks boys!

Parking for sustainabilty..

saw this at a rest stop on the PA turnpike today..

YES... A parking spot for low emitting vehicles? WHAT the heck?

I dont care how efficient a new hybrid is, a new car represents an investment of time, materials, and ENERGY that is paid for NOW..

Conversely the Recycled 40 ford woodie represents similar investments made at a much lower rate some 70 years ago.

Perhaps I need my own spot..

Since I'm not driving this weekend

I figured I'd work on making something to replace the old pedal..

having seen photos of vintage "gasser" pedals I thought this might be fitting..

The wood is maple and walnut.. and are Left overs from another woodworking project.. its backed up with a piece of 1/8th aluminum. I guess if it doesn't wear well, I'll just go with the aluminum..

hoping to find out how it drives with my the new pedal soon..

These are used up, new wheel bearings on Monday.

These don't look so bad
but sound terrible. That plus the leaking (suddenly) seal indicates that at least this side is bad
new parts waiting for me at "shop daves" on Monday

Peace of mind .... Priceless

The problem with used parts.....

is that sometimes... they get used up..

heading home from a small show last evening a new noise appeared.
based on the squeal and the gear lube leaking from the passenger side backing plate.. I think I'll be buying new wheel bearings today...

Used up
