Steve Schepp will show us his shop and answer questions about auto upholstery, so come ready to solve all the problems you've had with your car's interior. He has worked on several club members' cars and built interiors and tops far all kinds cars, including a first place car at Pebble Beach! Parking is awful around his shop, but he says on Saturdays it's not a problem. In addition to the spots in front of his shop we can use the lot for the business across the alley, which is closed on Saturdays. I hope lots of you can make it.

"I have finished my last restoration. A BN7 which went to Park City, Utah. It is time to clear out my shop. I have many used parts which someone might have a use for. All these parts are free. They are from BT7 and BN7 cars, but some could be used on other models." - Many factory original side curtain frames w/ the correct factory stamped letters. (could be polished and used for a Concourse restoration) - 2 Rear axles w/ hubs - 1 Rear spring - 2 Front brake rotors and hubs - 2 Sets of Exhaust Manifolds - 1 Smiths black face Ammeter (BJ8) - 1 Smiths black face oil pressure and H2O temperature Gauge (BJ8) Tests good - 1 Windshield washer bottle w/ holder - 1 Center shift non-overdrive transmission. Low mileage - 1 Complete Tri-carb engine. SN 29E/RU/H 4034 Believed to be seized, but the guy who did a lot of machine shop work for me said if it was turned upside down and oil poured into the cylinders, it should free up. I will use my hoist to load it. - 2 Side shift transmissions (O'd not included) - 1 Cylinder Head w/Rocker Assy and Valve Cover - 1 two carb set w/ manifold (I think it is for a BJ7) - 1 flywheel - 3 Clutch Pressure Plates - 1Rocker Arm Assy Everything is free, just come and pick it up.

Westbay Auto in Pt. Orchard can do it. 360 876 8008 ask for Ken. If you're closer to Silverdale , call Ray Danielson who also could do it. He is 360-698-7337 I'm unaware of your location but this is definitely West of the Cascades. We (Doug Miller, John Snyder & I) refer to the Peninsula as God's country. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank Hosick" To: "Cascade-team-net List" Sent: Wednesday, March 23, 2011 2:07 PM Subject: King Pin Reaming > Does anyone know of someone west of the Cascades who can ream my king pin > bushings?
