The break neck speed is slowing down, but should resume early next year! Training is taking up the entire month and since the job does have priority (unless someone wants to pay me to do all of this work! ) so a month or so break isn't all that bad, really.

Brakes are done on the back and what about the front you say? Oh, you know how that goes. Seized and rounded off bolt heads on unreachable wheel cylinder bolts means the whole brake backing plate on both front wheels needs to come off. headed home for three days and that'll be done shortly.

When Mopars got Ralleye or Road wheels, the face of the drums were painted red. I have the factory bulletin explaining that, but can't find it on my phone. The red paint was supposed to be on the outer face of the brake drum and should not be touching the studs. But we're all understanding the cars we're built by humans and sometimes those rules weren't really followed exactly. Here's the remnants of the red paint on one of my drums.

More to come! Cam break -in is immmammmamnent!

Cheers
Dave
