Default Been a while so time for an update.

I have been busy with other things and not accomplished much on the CMP.

I have removed and replaced the wheel cylinders and master cylinder and re-shod the front shoes. The back were almost as good as new so I left those shoes alone. I cleaned and blasted the front drums and backing plates. Painted them and reinstalled everything.
Bled the brakes yesterday and now have a basically new set of brakes all around. The truck is still just a rolling chassis but I have begun making arrangements to get the chassis and the rest of the body pieces into a sandblaster in March from there straight to a paint and then reassembled. Sorry no pictures because there isn't much to see.
I hope to have this ready for a July first show here and then on to another in August.
