Did a little Cutlass run around after work. I dropped off my “numbers” starter for assessment. (It didn’t turn over on the bench so some work is needed) I stopped at the resto shop and dropped off caged nuts (I finally found them staring me right on my work bench:-) They have masked off the windows and started to look at the tiny repair on the cowl first. I am crazy excited:-)

Absolutely!!! 4 wheel drums, I have a full set of non-finned original drums just like Lansing installed.

There is nothing wrong with 4 wheel drum brakes....many cars had them.

It`s the right thing to do in my eyes.

Prepared my trans cross member, and dropped off two tires and two rims to get mounted....

She will be a roller soon.

So far my day is my own on Saturday, brakes and possibly bring the engine home....

RamblerDealer Terry came over today and we assembled the drum brakes.

4 hands was barely enough:-)

Thanks so much for the help!!! This was a bit of a roadblock as they have been apart a while.

Terry took my drums to take a skim off so they are fresh.

Looking Nice

Don't forget to tighten the front sway bar end link.....you have about 3/4 of thread to tighten.
Were your backing plates originally cast or gray....or you just decided to do it that way?
