Got the newly mounted tires and wheels back today. Brandon at Humburg Automotive in Fort Madison did a great job mounting and balancing the tires. They are an official Tirerack mounting and balancing garage. He applied the lead weights to the back of the rims and painted them black to blend in. He also put some chrome covers on the valve stems so they would look nicer. Great place, nice people. They go the extra mile.
I took the new and old brake drums to Lynn Perry and he first chucked up the old ones in a lathe. They were at least 1/4 inch out of round. He had never seen anything like it. I then had him chuck up the new ones to make sure they were true. They were. He will drill them for a ford pattern this weekend. should get them back by next week..
Next, I need the welting to put on the back fenders. Then I can put the wheels and tires on.
