Well, to give the PO some credit, he did say he wasn't done with the upgrade, so maybe he meant to take care of some of these issues I'm seeing.

And thanks for the support for drum brakes. I drove my 1st '63 with drum brakes (no power) and manual steering. Each drive was like a small workout, but it was still fun to drive.

I'm curious if the ball joints look okay? On some of them, the rubber did not seem "level" but I don't know if that's okay or not.

Are the tie-rods loos just because they are not the right ones for those spindles?
