Well today I count as a success. Got the car jacked up and found the two 11/16" adjusters and was able to get the bands adjusted down to where the wheel will rotate. Adjusted the e-brake to be no drag at rest. Now I am going to be able to clean the gunk out of the fuel lines and hook up a...

Thanks Bob C and Greg58, I see the adjusters are up higher than expected. I am going to try to loosen them tomorrow and see if the drum will release. Thanks again.

I tried searching for my issue but failed. I usually work on my '30 A but today I thought I'd try to loosen the driver side rear brake drum on the '48 as it won't rotate. I was expecting something similar as the "A" but my 48 has the rivets, not the adjusters on the outer side. Want to pull the...

I remember in the fifties as a young-un, going to the lake on old highway 51 there was and still is a train track and past the trees there was a mile long auto salvage yard. The cars were stacked possibly 8 to 10 cars tall and there was not one car that had paint on it. A's T's chebys all sorts...

I understand all rod/piston weights need to be the same. Check with members in your club (you do belong to a club don't you) to see if they have extra rods to be able to find one the sane weight. Others will chime in for the "official" answer.

Sounds like a win-win eh?

And to find out the outhouse is a one-holer! Couldn't even take the better half with you.

Lyle, I see it's your first post and just wanted to say Welcome.

What's that under the tarp?

You might also look to see if your top and roof are OK if this was taken close to noon. Just a thought!

That's one ugly sombeech

Wonder if it could be flipped around to have passenger side access?

I bought a 50" TV for the bedroom and after 1 year, Setting there watching it one evening the screen went black and had no sound. Out of warranty of course so I got on the web and searched for my problem. Found a guy says send me 16 bucks and he would send instructions and capacitors to fix it...

Good on ya Wick. Have fun.

I too want to thank Ryan for his tolerance and a great site. Now as to the names and cities should I change my handle from Russell in Tulsa or do you think I'm OK? Just kidding as I bet I'm not the "only" Russell in town, and don't feel I've opened myself up to theft. I'm grateful to have this...
