"You cannot create experience. You must undergo it."

Transmission is ready to be picked up.  I have a few parts to get powder coated before I can put the rear suspension assembly together.  I've also decided to have one set of wheels powder coated black-as stock.  Not sure what I'm going to do with the second set.  I may just leave them as 'rollers' for now with the old tires since they still hold air.

All in all, I should be able to get the rear end put together by the end of May.

Depending on how well the house projects go, I might get the front end rebuilt as well but I'm not going to hold my breath for that just yet.

Carburetors are the only hold out for the 1500S since I attempted to disintegrate the right side carb in Berryman's.  I'm on the hunt for an early replacement for now.

I pulled most of my ads on The Samba because I'm tired of people asking for a price for shipping and then not buying the parts.  So, for now they're going in a tote that will be placed on a shelf with a 'for sale' label to be opened at a later date.
