Amazing how much that ospho worked. Brushed first coat on the whole frame Saturday after a brush wheel and scraper. Killed the chit out of the rust. Brush wheel again yesterday, then brushed another gallon of ospho on. Letting it set until Wednesday. Then clean with brush wheel and a heavy Kem Kromic primer coat on the whole frame

My FIL sanded the wheel shafts with Emory paper and pulled all the bearings. Replacing bearings. Brakes still had plenty of life left.

Pull the shoes, lube all the contact points, make sure the adjusters are free to turn, check the magnets, clean the inside of the drums where the magnets and shoes contact.

Alright you convinced me lol

Started pulling the leaf springs apart because they seemed loose and noisy. Bushings were gone and bolts were worn.

Like a f'ing remodel, just plan to gut 100$ from the beginning lol

Pull the spring balancer also, that sleeve is probably worn out.

I love spending other people’s money.

Working on a built in bench. Fitting the parts today and will finish up tomorrow. I fit the bench cap which isn't in the picture. Tomorrow I have to fit the sills which will interface with a rabbet in the back of the bench cap.

I would have had it all done today if the countertop guys had finished up on Friday like they were suppose to. And then needed until 12:30 today to finish up. I actually got up early to get there early only to find out I could have slept until 10am if I wanted to.

And no.... I'm not bitter. :mad:
