There is a Hamber touring Alaska and BC who has lost a wheel bearing near
Fort Nelson. He has the parts but needs a spot to work on it. Anyone know
someone there that could help????
He is driving a 1951 Chevy convertible.

Here is a link to his tour..

Bob just called me. He is in a rodder's shop in Fort Nelson and about to pull the car apart. don't know at this time if it is a bearing (which he has a spare) or a spindle.
And, it is a fatman's spindle, so parts "could" be needed.

Bob and Maggie just had brekky at our place. Turns out he joined Canadian Rodder forum in 2008. His '52 Chevy has a 292 six. They just left for Jasper.








Also, a coincidence.....our rods were both in the same Bonneville 360 photo in 1992.
