1953 winter service

What started as a LOF ended up with brakes, cylinders, wheel bearings, seals etc etc...
I'm glad that we still are in the winter season.

Nice car. Glad you are getting it done since brakes are the most important thing on a car.

Yep, good catch looks like the shoes were close to being on the rivets. Now I wonder how mine look, see what you started..... Nice ride you have.... Tedd

I can’t believe you have that whole car supported on those two tri-pod stands!

It is kind of an optical illusion but if you look closely you will see a lift on the opposite side of the car. I did a double take when I first saw it.

You are correct Glenn, the stands are just for extra support.
There is a car lift on the opposite side, I believe they are called "one pillar lift" or something.
I'm normally a brave guy but supporting a car on just two stand is way out my comfort zone
