As a hot rodder, you just assume nothing will actually fit. And that is precisely how everything on this jeep has gone. The latest kick in the teeth is the rear disc conversion. Apparently nothing fits the Dana 30 rear. So what do you do now? Like everything else, make it work! Had to redrill bracket to fit. Made a spacer to take up for the missing drum brake backing plate so the seal will not crash into the bearing. And notched the bracket to clear the seal cover. All good now! Time to take everything apart, make it nicey nice and slap it back together. Oh yeah…. Engines back in!!

This 57 dodge custom royal has been in the shop for a little bit. After the better part of three decades being dormant, it’s back on the road. All new brakes with dual master, radiator,fuel tank, tires, a little rust repair and it drives again as a survivor. Definitely don’t see these often.

Pretty good start. Whole lotta clean up ahead. Gonna be nice when it’s done though. It’s a jeep thang!

Workin on the last little bit of rust on the Torino. Had a donor piece that turned out to be a little too rough. But it gave me the shape I needed. Made a little wood buck form and hammered one out. Still have to repair the wheel well and trunk drop off. Almost there!! 😮‍💨

Little Sunday trim resto. All trim is from a 1956 ford. All in all, it’s not in bad shape. Nothing a little hammer and file work can’t fix. All the dents are now removed, filed and DA sanded with 80 grit. More sanding all the way up to 1200 and then polish. The little hammer in the last picture is the only thing I’ve used for this work. It was given to me by someone 20 years ago. His skills in this type of work were amazing. He unfortunately passed away about 6 years ago, but I think of him every time I use this little hammer.
