Made some good progress tonight.  Finished cleaning up the passenger side backing plate and was able to put all the new parts on and set the shoes for a little clearance.  The drum slid on nicely.  I had to put the wheels back on and set the car back down on the floor off the blocks.  Its the only way I think I'll be getting that large axle nut tight.  After those are tight on both sides and the wheel lug nuts are tight as well, I'll bleed the brakes and then jack up the car and do a fine adjustment for the shoes.  Hopefully it will go smoothly.  Getting excited to get it back on the road.  I really want to drive it to work a couple days a week.  It was one year ago today that I took the car home from my friend's shop after the engine rebuild.  More good times coming...
