Almost ready to start... need a few more things!!

That looks good!!!!!!

nice work! looks good.

Happy new year 2014!!!

I've been doing a lot of body work on the 54 (I will try to get some pics up soon). Also trying to remove my rear brake drums. I have 2-3 hours into one side and still cant get it removed! I've used heat and pullers... I'm ready to cut them off!! Very frustrating!!! I been soaking them for weeks in WD-40. Any suggestions before I cut??

Thats a bummer I have been there done that. WD-40 is not a very good penetrate though, PB blaster would be better. The drum and axle have become one

I have heard This works like magic with some heat, I have not tried it since I dont have any....yet .

Kroil is good stuff. You can also use a 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF, but be warned you do not want to introduce any heat to this mix.

Well I got lucky on one side yesterday with the drum... I bought a spray can of "Curtisol Eas-Off" said industrail... I picked it up from a yard sale of all places for a quarter. Not saying it was the reason but I keep squirting it all week then I welded one side of my puller to hub for a good hold and added tension. Then I smacked it really hard a few times with a hammer and it POPPED! Now I'm on the other side.Good news is it actually looked good inside. So I'll replace drum and seals and wheel cylinders. QUESTION.. Does anyone know what year drums are the same? And if I could use standard lug studs. Or do I have to use left handed?

Here are a few pics...
