Back from the drive-train shop. New side bearings were installed
![]() I sent out the rear drums to Napa machine shop in Barrie. I couldn't find a local shop that could resurface them. The cost was 66 ea plus tax. ![]() My rear floor should be here next week, week after at the latest. Im waiting on some big butt wrenches and sockets as I have to remove the rear idler post from the frame. The left rear idler was toe'd in, and I believe that the shaft is the problem ![]()

What are you going to do with the shaft, get it repaired or replace it?

Once I get it out, I will check for straightness and then figure out my options. I'm sure they are avail from a few sources if I go replacement.

That's some interesting safety wiring on the ring gear, pretty sure that will do nothing to help keep the bolts tight. Might want to have a look at this as an example:

Seems like everything is taking forever. All the brakes are done, bearings are packed and drums installed
Finally got the boogie assembly's off. ![]() Pics of the first coat of primer on. Second has since been done, waiting on a few days for it to dry properly then onto paint ![]()

Got the frame finally in paint. Didn't paint the front bumper, i will paint with the body to make sure paint matches. Got the engine in a proper colour. I will test fire the engine this week on the stand.
On to brake lines and blasting the body panels, cleaning/inspecting the boogies etc. finally over the hump onto assembly ![]() ![]()

Good to see your progress has reached the big and obvious stage.
