71 383 wagon

Drums are fine if you know how to upgrade them. Get biggers slaves for a truck and a set of really nice shoes full ceramic. And she will stop just fine..

The funny thing is that I have all the stuff to do front disc brakes. I just really wanted to redo the drum and see how it would stop because I have ever gotten to drive a big block car with drums all the way round. And so far I am very pleaced with the drums and they can stay a little long.

Wow. She's GORGEOUS. Living up here in the rust belt, I can only dream of cars in that state of repairs. I've got my '74 Satellite Custom off at the body shop for the winter, and like I said, got this wagon's spittin' image '72 up on jack stands in the garage. If I can find some way to get heat out there this winter, I hope to be able to turn a few wrenches...

Thanks man, I did get lucky, with almost no rust. I know what you mean about winter to, I'm just glad it has not starting getting cold here yet. It is still high 60s and sunny.

Just hope you got a set of proper jackstands for x-mas instead of the 1x5's holding her of the ground- Hows the progress coming?

Nope no jack stands this year. But I did get a set of rallys for it, and progess is coming a long its going in next week to have the exhaust done. And then I'm going to start driving it almost daily.

So I finally got some work done on the car today. Clean it up, fixed the miss by changing plug wires, also grease the front end. I also cleaned one of the rallys. Then I took it for a drive.
