Jim, you said it. When I purchased the '46 project i am working on now, the passenger front wheel drum was locked/rusted in place and as we winched it up on the flat bed trailer it left a black skid mark all the way! That thing was so rusted up it took two weeks of PB Blaster applied through every crack or crevice I could find until everything broke free, mostly the old shoe material just turned to mush. What a mess, what a job!!
