Post Powder Beetles...eBay Mercury.

There is a Mercury Woodie on eBay that has Post Powder Beetles. The pictures have been taken so that you can barely see them.

They are a very evasive bug and can cross contaminate to other Woodies, your home, furniture, etc.

48, when I purchased my '46 woodie I had to replace most of the wood from the rear doors back. The wood was destroyed from a combination of rot from water and powder post beetles. Thankfuly they were gone when I received my car. The beetle would bore a small hole and literally turn the inside of the wood to dust. There were a few small holes in the doors so I used round toothpicks dipped in waterproof glue and sanded them flush when it dried. Nasty little buggers!!!
