This is a 1st fit. They will be off and on and off and on and off and on and and and

Ohh I understand it still has a very long way to go. I have just become very ocd about proper tire direction for a safety point of view. I see many very nice cars at shows that don't seem to care if they are the proper direction or not. I saw 3 cars at Carl Caspers auto show this year with backwards tires. I guess I am just picky about it because it shows a lack of attention to safety and I notice this all the time.

From your observations I will be addressing this next week. I have to run the fuel supply and returns in the frame. Also the power supply for the fuel pumps.
The tank has to me modified for this.
I will point this out to the guys.

Thanks.

I know. It drives me crazy also. Fords, 80's Vette's and some Hondas have true directional wheels. Lincolns especially. One set for the drivers side and one for the passenger side. I see them mixed up all the time. I've even said something to the owners. Some realized it and some didn't care.

Like this.

We have the deep dish chrome reverse with baby moons on the truck...love the way they look! I posted the link to Pete Pauslen's site in here a few days ago where we bought them. Hubby special ordered his because they didn't have as deep as he wanted as I recall.

I love it!

I love it!

Less is so much more.

Ohh the horror! Ya little things like this really bother me. I am a fan of true directional wheels and tires. Whats worse is when you come across directional tires that are on the wrong directional wheels. It's not uncommon for me to point these mistakes out when I see them. As you said some never noticed and the others didn't even care.

I think I am going to put the engine build on hold for right now and tackle the brakes on the car first. That's something I can afford and do all by myself.

Oh come on. Disc brakes are a fad. Drums are forever.

Hey I'm fine with the 4 wheel manual drums. It's the people screaming next to me that bother me.

But are drums with a single piston wheel cylinder forever?

Those are fun. I've gotten pretty good at those with the adjustable anchor pin. The last set I did on a 37 Buick threw me for a loop though, that has two different adjustable pins. What's that pic on?

The crossmember setup out of the 1979 C10 gave me disc brakes up front. I also added the dual master cylinder.
No vacuum booster but Dewey Oscar stops way mo betta.

I like drum brakes. My truck has 18 of them.

I would like to toss a crown Vic front end under mine, but have some other things to tie down before I dig that deep
