Non rust & welding work since January

Most of our time was on rust, but we have done a few other things over the winter.  I got a big shipment of parts, so there is lots of new stuff to start installing.

 

I did the rear brakes first.  They are old-school drums.  We got new shoes and cylinders.  It takes some trial and error to get the springs and shoes put back on, but I managed.  All of the pictures of the final assemble are blurry, and I am not removing the drum to reshoot. 

Another day John showed me how to adjust valves.  It is a pretty understandable process, and it didn't take long to get all eight done. 

We have worked on the parking brake, replaced brake lines, put in the new alternator, and random other small jobs.  It is really nice to put parts back on the car.  The most recent was putting the front suspension back together.  We have the shocks, springs, and kingpins back on the car.

 I cleaned up the garage tonight and attached my new power strip to the wall.  You're welcome John.
