Don't forget the rears!

I agree Cat, he has a ton of work on this baby!

I see he fabricated some body mounts. On the rear wheel bearings, they are greased with a zerk in the axle tube. You apply grease until it purges...

Rope seals are installed by packing them in to the block. The crank needs to be out. I have the KW seal in mine.

Wow hard to diagnose noise when you have to describe it sometimes. I think Cat has you on a good start. Make sue it isn't something vibrating when you let off the throttle. Resonance is hard to find....

Oh man AJ-MJ, and so it begins! I can't wait to see how she survived the wait. I am sure you are going to have some good projects to conquer. Take some pictures for us.

56' is our hope for the next generation.

It could be a few spots leaking 56'. Because it occurred after a hard run, the pan seal especially at the rear, is very suspect. If you decide to go in there, once you pull the pan you are very close...

Unbelievable sacrifice from our Veterans. Thank you to those who gave it all.

Your close gm. I think you found enough to get info from the historical society of Garland. They will probably have the history of the address. I bet the place with the horses out front is it.

The...

Good thought gm, make sure 56'. Is it loosing oil on the dipstick?

You don't have to "pull" the crank. It will make it easier if you loosen the main caps. I would definitely give a try,...

Great idea 56'!

Looking good 56"! What a great time with three generations, favorite cars, at the show!

Nicely done 56', way to go man!

It is a big job to go after that oil leak if it is the rear main seal....

Some great shots of the waterproof setup there Hdk! It looks like you have her ready for the show now.

This might help. The amount of pic's you can upload at a time is limited as gm said. There are a few things to keep in mind. Check this link for some info.

Also keep in mind this is a very primitive, undersized and non redundant brake system. I wonder if anyone has ever gotten the stock 9" original drum setup to "Lock up" on dry pavement. A panic stop...

This is a long standing thing we all struggle with. For me with my Android phone, if I hold the camera horizontally with the top to my left, it is correct when I download it to the site. I seldom get...

That seal fits much better! I might look into one of those. Where did you find it?

This tag is going to create a bunch of intrigue! I hope you find out more. I am thinking... did Willys have a program with a large re-builder of the time? Was it a motor that was purchased and...

gm's "Heep" was a blast to have at the parade no question. It probably got more looks than any of the stuff there. It is the real deal. You can tell it will work, and has worked for a long time....

Nice find gm! You might have to write to these guys to find that one.

Super nice Job Hdk! You are not the first to experience the poor fitting windshield seal. I was not able to find a real good fit. I tried a few different suppliers. It seems like there are only two...

Steve, I have experienced, and still do somewhat share your observations. I think the parts we are getting are not up to spec. I believe the drums are oversize and the shoes are not arched correctly,...

You could always fabricate or have one fabricated for you if you cant find one. Let us know how it goes.

Just checked out your photo album. Great shots man! It looks like serious clay there. At...

I think it is a 1/4" flare fitting. That means it would be a 7/16" x 20 thread pitch. Can you get a close up picture?

Get it to that car show 56", if its running take her out. It doesn't have to be finished that's for sure.

It sounds like someone might have slipped in a clutch shaft from another vehicle in there.
