After getting the axles under the travel trailer squared away I opened up the next can of worms on the 55, man the drum is beat up inside. I guess it’ll have to do for static use. I have a brake kit & seal from Kurt on the shelf

That rear seal will likely leak again. Order a double seal speedo housing from @orangefj45 at Valley Hybrids. He sends you one already to bolt in, you return your core to him.

No pig time all weekend (putting travel trailer back together) but I do have a line on a replacement drum now, I’ll call that progress

Son is busy trying to get one of his classics ready for his old High School shown n shine…see if he gets one happy enough to drive over.

Son’s Colt - he calls it his console shift 2dr Mopar

His good buddy races sprint cars

And met our neighbors just around corner, hear them tuning these often, HER race truck

I was scrolling down the pictures, thinking how nice and clean your son's ride is and I see "Hell on Heels" Oh Man, would that be fun to drive in the mud.

Yeah he didn’t have a hope, lol.

My Dad had us hooked from a young age, my kids followed suit to a lesser degree but times have changed too, it can be expensive at times but a great hobby.

Daughter still drools over blowers sticking outta hoods and flame jobs…she could be trouble!

I remember seeing a early 80s Seville ( boxy ones) had dual quads sticking out da Hood

No real progress but it’s always on my mind, bought another offering of parts today…Steve had a giant 80 out front along with the usual mix of 40s & 60s

 

[scrapdaddy]

Extra parts are good!

 

[Ol Yeller]

New 80 steering box on the way, not sure if my 60 arm will fit it? Got tired of looking for a usable 60 box, even as a core.

This will spur some more progress on the front end, get it mounted and then shock towers & & & it’s a long list still.

 

[scrapdaddy]

The 60 pitman arm will fit, that's what I'm running.

Thanks Ron, I was going to look back at your thread actually, great to know another part is already here!

That's a bummer to hear!

More beef with the 80 box anyways, and then at some point in the future you can always join the sector shaft upgrade club!
