"blame it on my ADD, baby"

The Blockley Dog Bone tire...yes, my attention has been shifted to tires.  I don't want Nankang tires and I haven't been able to find a set of the Pirelli CN36's since they're out of production and these look like a suitable alternative...but holy shit are they expensive!

I've got two full sets of Type 3 wheels and I'm considering selling off a set.  At the current pace of my project, I won't need 'roller' tires because my car will come together so slowly that I can simply buy the tires I need and sell off the extra wheels and get something else out of the garage.  This weekend will be another one where I either post up ads or toss random parts in the scrap bin.

I'm in 'reduction' mode-listing and selling off things I don't think I'm going to use/need in the near future.  I may even sell off the recently purchased J-tubes and single quiet pack exhaust.  At the rate I'm going, I won't get it installed or start the engine before the exhaust is completed.  I'm actually considering taking a few things off the engine to fix what I'll call 'details' that are not quite right.  Yeah, it's going that slowly.

I've been searching for a tool to pull the front bearings out of the 65 beam and the beam full of sand but I can't seem to find what I want.  So I continue to look...I've got big plans for powder coating in the near future with regard to the parts that are left.  I'll be sending stuff off for chrome shortly as well.

I received the parts lot that I bought on The Samba...Most of the parts are in okay condition-I posted up quite a few of them and have sold a couple of things.  There are a couple of things left to list but most of it is up.  I'm keeping three parts-the rest of it is going...hopefully, I'll make my money back.  This buy was closer to 'insanity' than 'opportunity' in real life.  I spent $238 and have recovered the $38.
