Followed Me Home, '33 Build
Made a day trip run to N&N Saturday, and this followed me home
The back calipers (Explorer) are dragging on the back rolled edge of the wheels - we put 1/8" washer spacers on at N&N, but they still drug so we just left them loose to load, then tightened them for the ride home. Last night I mounted the third member to eliminate any axle slop, checked clearance and did some creative grinding on the top outside of the calipers for clearance. Had them off & on three times last night before I got tired and called it a nightAlmost there, but need one more pass to be good. I should have taken a "before" shot of the caliper for reference, but thought it was going to be a one pass thing and done
I think they will be OK, but I suppose I could be looking for a different caliper that tucks in a bit tighter...
The last shot is the 347 stroker waiting patiently for a trial fit.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
In our neighborhood, 2 blocks down the hill was a gas station that (to me) all the cool car guys hung out there. 32 coupes, 33 & 34 Fords as well, a sweet 56 Ford Beach wagon that was setup gasser...
How did you get hooked on cars?
