You might want to install the upper control arms to the Body/inner fender structure before you drop the body onto the subframe. The weight of the drum already attached to the A Arm might make installation difficult.

Lawrence,
Looking good! You did good on the brake drums. They were not painted on the mounting surface or the wheel stud area. See attached factory document. Looks great! Keep up the good work! Cheers Dave

Interesting to see what the factory recommended versus what the assembly line workers actually did at high speed. I'll try to dig up some photos from my archives.

Yes.... and I think you'll find for every ONE example that you find, you'll find 10,000 done correctly. That's the document that says how it's supposed to be done, man. He's going for what was correct. That's what's correct

Thanks guys. Yea I was not so happy with the spray cosmoline I used. That is three heavy coats. I may see if I can spray more on the lower control arms for more apparent coverage.

Exactly, Steve! We all know there were always exceptions to the rules when it came to "Get that car down the line!"
 You're always safe with how it was "Supposed" to be done, unless your individual car shows different and you can show that. Every brand has it's individual nuances...and seems Mopars take the cake!!! All good stuff!!!!! And Lawrence, my "impeccable" knowledge is just regurgitation from everyone else I've learned it from!!! I'm happy to help, and more happy to LEARN from the other guys that have forgotten more than I'll ever know!  Now....lets see the ever so popular "drop" of the car onto the k-member!!!! Cheers Dave

My original drums on my Bird
Does the car have steelies or road wheels? No drum red paint on steelies - just on "styled" wheels. The engine ground strap (rear) was on the engine when it was painted and the terminal end was masked off....from my GTX When I can I will have a look through your pics again. Car looks great....I like R6! Last edited by RS_COPO_Canuck; 11-06-2017 at 12:44 PM.
