The wheels are now moving!!! Up until today the wheels were frozen so that they would not turn at all. When the car was brought here on a flatbed we had to winch it into the garage. After taking the wheel off and taking out the two screws holding the brake drum on, i had to beat on it with a hammer and crowbar for about thirty minutes to get it to pop off. Then i was able to pull the brake shoes off witch now allows the wheels to rotate. This car is unique in that it has drum brakes on all four wheels. Now that the wheels turn i can push the car in and out of the garage, but i better be carefull because there is absolutely no brakes!
wow....you are really going after this! I am learning a lot about car restoration from reading your blog. This is an amazing project Eric!
