Exhaust, tire tub, stabilizer, shock removal...

Mufflers have some rust holes



Very cool to see original (1963 one year only) spindle supports with no webbing.

The exhaust is pretty rusted. We'll need to remove it in order to remove the rear-end and transmission. Figured we'd do it now (on the lift) before beginning the front suspension & brake work.



Nice original fiberglass tire tub




Correct 1963 steel wheel (spare)

A beautiful B.F. Goodrich Silvertown spare tire


Hubcaps are in nice shape!


Appears to have fairly new brake pads & brake kit installed.

Removing the anti-roll/stabilizer bar

Shock removal

New rear wheel cylinders, turn the drums, bleed brakes & hood…

Let’s replace the rear wheel cylinders… Interesting to note the shoes are not making consistent contact w/the drums Wheel cylinder caps - yi...
