Actually yeah. I'm sure you would be really busy too

Haha, send me your alphas I rebuild for $300. That would be sweet if somebody would do that . Send them your housing unit or outdrive & they send it back rebuilt & maybe even painted.

What a weekend found a great deal on a compressor. AN 80 gal, 175 psi & 20cfm!! I searched for one new they cost around 1600$, this one still in good shape with great paint, all for a leg and an arm ($875).

Runs really quiet. Its beautiful man. I want to sleep in the garage tonight.

Well fellas this is the only new thing I did this weekend. I cant weight to connect it put some rubber soles and the plumbing.

So my gimball seal made it in today.

Went ahead and installed it. Nothing to it.

Got the bearing and follwed what mercstuff.com intructions. So I opened the bearing and Im glad I did.

I noticed aluminum shavings. It looks like this guys didnt bother to clean the ring before installing the bearing.

SO I went ahead snd cleaned the whole bearing.Marked the lube hole and Installed it.

Just kidding I just didnt put the outer clip and it just slid in.

SO I put the bearing in a ziplock bag to put in the fridge so I can do a real easy install.

Nice job!

U Know it hasnt been hard, but I dread installing the bellows. Have u seen how tight this things are? I tried to install the ujoints bellows just to see how hard. Crap, I need to put my body weight on it! Im gonna see if its wise to soak it in hot water before installation.

You are moving along Azlo. Even though I'm no IB guy, I would guess you are helping the other poor souls that have to deal with those problems.
On the brighter side, I can't wait until you are doing the interior as you have proven yourself to be an "out of the box" kinda guy. That is when I believe it will get very interesting.

Im gonna put a couch.

A leather one with recliners on each side? Vibrating lumbars and neck massage?

Re: 1968 Holiday Restoration w/pics

Just make sure to glass over the cushions to keep water from intruding, guess that would make it more of a bench

Nice work on all those parts, seems like you are planning on keeping this rig for a bit based on how thorough you've been on this rebuild. Way to go

As long as this couch has a beerholder everything will be & will look allright.
