That looks like a Vw type 1 bearing of an IRS chassis.
Alumicraft.. what’s the story and the kinds?

I take it those are VW type 1 hubs?
Edit: just saw the above responses. Yes that's probably what they are

All bearings are getting replaced, new axles are on order, B pillar added and the prep continues. My buddy at Sandburg Speedshop is saving my butt on going through this car. This usually takes me a few weeks to go through a car when I get it and he’s knocking it out in what’s been a week. Might even be finished in time for my trip down to glamis for Halloween. I wasn’t even planning on taking a car since I’m comp cutting at Gilmore’s, might just have to make some time to play too!

Slightly off topic…
Would it be possible for you to post up a thread of all of the cars you have been through since getting into this hobby?
You’ve had some of the nicest cars in Glamis and it seems like I missed a few. The most memorable for me until this thread was a blue Amplified, I believe.
Not so much for bragging reasons but more for seeing the evolution of one Man’s Hobby.

His 1972 PricKfor was an industry changer, the Gadget Grove prototype producing more HP and better gas mileage was just one of the advancements introduced to the sport on the car.
