Yeah it was the rear main bearing that was pitted real bad. But from what I hear they both can cause the same symptoms
Getting close! Some interior and little odds and ends!
great job on bee, would look great with the magnum 500 wheels and b f goodrich tires, still nice looking bee though.
Yeah I’m a steels wheels and redline guy. Thanks!
I’ll do my best to describe my process. I should have done a better job a taking pics while doing it but didn’t. Anyway turned the ball, drilled hole for insert and placed the ball straight up. Masking taped the top and laid out my pattern with a pencil. Took a chisel and flat head screw driver slightly dulled the tip and carefully stamped out my pattern till it was consistent lightly tapping with a hammer it doesn’t take much. Took some time and a helping hand from my dad. Once the pattern was stamped I used a stamp kit from harbor freight to do the numbers. The sizing is perfect to me. Painted the area with black spray paint then sanded the ball leaving the paint inside the numbers and pattern. Cleaned it up and oiled it down with some tung oil. We also turned a couple extras to practice on. If anybody is interested in one let me know. My dad is a wood turner and we had fun doing em.
