Back in the day you could buy 55 stainless trays from the Stainless Battery Tray guy. He used my Pig for the prototype

Raptor makes a 1K liner in an aerosol can which leaves a very light texture, and can be picked up from local parts stores. Of course this post wouldn’t be complete without me showing an example. IIRC used one thick coat on my battery tray...

I think you should send it to me for verification. 😂

While waiting for my engine bay paint to fully dry, I pulled the battery tray off the shelf to refurbish. Never looked at it closely but I’m thinking wow this has no real rust. On closer look I noticed it’s completely covered in some sort of...

Any opinions on the spring orientation? Diagram that I referenced shows springs towards front of car go on the backside of the shoes. The '77 FSM I'm looking at doesn't address the spring orientation, at least as far as I can tell. I just...

You can get it close anyways

My normal routine is to run one cylinder out until you can’t spin the wheel, press the brake pedal a couple times, then back off the cylinder until the drag isn’t too noticeable. Repeat for the second cylinder, and then make slight adjustments to...

Looks like the spring that is at the front of the vehicle goes behind?

Painting the last few parts so that I can put both axles back together. Was reading some posts on the rear drums and noticed that my springs apparently were not installed correctly. It can't make too much difference as my 55 brakes were...

Noticed da Football prop in background 😘😏😉🍺🧐🤔

….and many of you won’t appreciate this post, but that’s fine. Today’s posts are brought to you by Covid 19. We were scheduled to be at Auburn’s home opener but the :princess: tested positive a week ago and of course I have it now. Years of...

…and in the nobody cares but FWIW category, I threw away all my 10 yo+ Mobil 1 and Amsoil moly fortified today. I was still happy with the Amsoil product but it’s hard to tell the shelf life on grease. I’m a huge Mobil 1 oil fan but their...

Put the internals back into the disc brake calipers in between football games. Maybe not quite as pretty as the ones that @J Mack pulled out of a box but I guess they will have to do. These things were a bi*tch to clean up btw.

Photos from Kelly. Tailgate and roof almost done.

Unfortunately those are NLA now.
