Glamour Shots.. '62 Valiant Wagon
1/16/24:
I am continuing to slowly get items completed on the project.
Over the weekend we took a snowy jaunt up north to retrieve a proper A Body 8 3/4" Rear axle. It's not complete, yet I have all of the parts to make it so.
Lots of abrasive blasting and painting..... this is a blast.
Saving the Semi original/old Wheel Cylinders - They are made in the USA. A little honing and some blasting, and a quick coat of paint cleaned them right up!
Found Some Spare drums in my parts stash.. They cleaned up nicely.
Interesting markings:
Degreased backing plates from the donor axle:
I do need to sort out / weld / level the shoe pads on these.
Cleaned up nicely.
