Clay: Wishing you a Merry Christmas and happy New year. It was great meeting up with you at Hershey. I am sending in my funds again for the same two sites for next year.
I have been working on the the trubrake shoe ling tool and am getting made several of the sanding cones made. I have to pull one of my rear drums because of something is leaking and I think it might be brake fluid or an inner seal has gone bad.
I will then correct the issue and then try to use the brake lining tool to see how it works. Hopefully it might warm up this coming weekend but when its cold in the garage I have little motivation to do any work. Getting older has its limitations.
Let meknow if my input about the foglight was helpful and yes do the cutting and sizing on a piece of scrap metalbefore drillig into the front gravel guard. Mease twice drill once.

Rich,
So sorry I missed this message !
Hope you had a Merry Christmas and happy / healthy New Year to all.
I will tackle the fog lights later this year. Thanks for the help!
Right now I am pushing to get the drive train in the car and the car back to the painter.
THEN HOME for assembly.
Today I was rushing and mounted the bell housing with out the dowels.
I may have to remove the bell, the clutch , and the Fluid coupler to install the dowels. Trying to drive them through from the block side but they are tight, and starting to peen over. I don't want to hammer this hard on the block either.
Really stressed on this, so close and working too hard for 61 ! ?
Fourm threads indicate the dowels are too important to leave out.
Wish me luck
Clay
PS: good thing vacation is soon
