Fat Hack

I woke up bright and early today, and skated through the ice-covered streets of Plymouth, Michigan to RocketJ2's Secret Hudeout to load up the 49 Chevy for the trip home.
Got it loaded and shipped okay...then right off the trailer, one rear wheel locked up! Spent my afternoon discovering how those primitive rear drum brakes go together (and more importantly...COME APART!). Threw the shoes and hardware away...wheel rolls free now!
A bonus shocker was that my old geezer neighbors LOVED the car...maybe they won't be too offended if it sits in front of the house for a few days!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Got a long, rocky road ahead...but it'll be a cool rusty cruiser this Summer!!
(Took pics with my antique 110 camera...probably have 'em up for ya by mid-week!)
Thanks Jay and Donnie...you guys RULE!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
