1968 Street Bug Project - UPDATE #17

It's 10:30 and our Letter Carrier just left me 6 packages - 5 from a parts house - I'll reveal which one after I see if the parts fit and work.  The 6th was my replacement brake drum from Harvey off of www.TheSamba.com.  A source for many of the replacement parts that I have bought.  Thanks Harvey the drum is just as advertised.  I am getting a late start today and really want to get this new drum on so I can bleed the brakes.  Among the items received is my new turn signal switch.  That will be fun to install.  Well, better get to it before the garage swamp cooler is unable to keep the garage below 105.

    Hi Jerry that samba site is like the old J C Whitney for Bugs.
    Looking at your photos reminds me of cutting off 14" of the bugs frame and making dune buggies out of them (the good old days) you seem to be moving along pretty fast for an old fart.
    It looks real good iii check back later
