While the bus is getting painted I am working on some of the smaller details that need to get done in order for the bus to roll again.

Pretty sure I know what end of the bus this wheel came from......

I really just wanted to install the missing clips, but I might as well clean them up a bit for the powder coater.

Working on the beam, disk brakes, and the rebuilt spindles should be in this week. I replaced the bearings and bushings in the beam while it was all apart.
I didn't have the fixture or the expertise so I sent the spindles to a fellow Samba member!

I powder coated some of the beam bits for longevity!
