OOOH! A fix, I needed that.

You must be happy a puppy with 2 peters to be actually using new stuff on that car for once!!

Putting drum brakes back on? I'm surprised you're not upgrading to discs all around. With all the other new and replacement parts, it isn't exactly original any more...
Great looking work. Looking forward to seeing it with paint on the outside.

yeah we are sticking with the drums in the back.
i'm waiting on wheel bearings (rear), a couple gaskets and axle seals, then we can put the axles back in, rear brakes etc.
Something clever here.

Those drums are actually pretty decent.

Quite amazing Dave!! Great work again! +1 Also Dave, I sure hope you are not pricing your work too low! Don't be afraid to charge what you are worth -- it can even result in more, not fewer customers. I was doing computer consulting (mostly to small businesses), and gradually I got too busy to handle all the customers. I raised my prices a LOT, thinking that this would result in some of the businesses going elsewhere. In fact, the response was more like "Oooh, he must be good to charge so much" and demand actually increased. We all have seen how good your work is -- make sure you price it accordingly! (Also, set an alarm clock to make yourself take a break and rest your feet for at least a few minutes every hour -- getting rid of foot problems like yours is harder than nipping the problem in the bud, bud!) John

Dave, I have bad plantar fasciitis, too. Actually had mine completely rupture several years ago. Those thick rubber mats work. So do the inserts in your shoes. I get cortisone shots as often as possible in my heel and that helps, too. Stretching before you put your socks and shoes on in the a.m. helps. So does leaning against back wall in shower and stretching ligaments fully. I also wear Birkenstock sandals at night with socks around the house. (Yeah, I know. Hippie. Why don't I paint some flowers on them.).
PS- forgot to mention this one. If you have a BassPro near you, they have RedHead brand socks for work/hunting that have thick padded soles. They also help.
I'm interested in that tape procedure you mentioned. Does it work?

Nothing better than a clean and shiny underbelly! Unless it is more new stuff bolted onto said underbelly! Amazing Dave! That is a miracle to behold in Rusty Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes, and summer and winter cars!!!

What's up with this Mustang now? Is it finished? We haven't seen an update on this in a while.

Hello! Hey guys, the mach 1 is doing well. I'll try to post some update pics soon. I have a couple of cars that are a little further along than the mustang, I will get them on down the road pretty soon, then I can pull in the second Mach 1 for initial tear down while this (current one) begins body, paint and reassembly.
