Hank, nice job on the door. It is much better there than collecting dust and dirt in the garage. It cleaned up nicely.

Glad to see you continue to make progress on the Clipper.

On the drive end bushing, did you drill the bushing after installing it and replace the oiling wick? If not, the bushing and shaft will not receive any oil. However, some Oilite bushings require no lubrication.

On the front end bearing, is it a single shielded or double shielded bearing? If double shielded (sealed), then it should not be oiled.

Not much Packarding going on here. I need to get under the back of the 55 Clipper because it sound as if it is about to fall out of the car. Probably the tail pipe, but need to make sure what is causing the noise and fix it.
