Thanks for the encouragement J, i just keep thinking about the days, weeks, months you spent sanding your truck, only to sweep it up off the shop floor and reapply

Lots of good progress and hitting a wall always is rough.

Quick question regarding your hubs. The round retainer with the holes did you line up the hole with the nub on the first locking nut?

Thanks.....and yes the slot in the hub has to line up, but you can flip ring 180 to get it to line up better on a tang, so you don t change your torque setting, ok did nt answer question let me think about, my head hurts. Just spent 5 hours on the phone with microsofts head geek

If you look at this image http://thumbs2.ebaystatic.com/d/l225...BM3z1auHcQ.jpg you'll see on the left ring at 12 o'clock is a bump. This bump has to line up with a hole in the middle ring for it to be seated and locked properly.

Thanks, enjoying your build, very entertaining. Just ordered two new drums from Rock Auto, we ll see how the quality is(raybestis). Now to find some quality high temp. Paint and figure out color. Not sure if color should standout or blend in thru the slots of my wheels... opinions? I ll let the masses rule

swamp rat · 06-23-2015, 03:59 AM

Black..

I think my thread would be more entertaining if i was to make some progress LOL!

progress is just a thought process, with your success and failures we learn what does and doesn t work, so by you attempting something, you speed up our builds by learning what not to do. Keep up the good work, I think youre doing fine on your build

thanks for watching, you guys keep ME going

**richard2717** · 06-23-2015, 11:03 AM

I would go with satin black on the drums.

Richard, you re a funny guy, but you re right, I want to see clean brake drums, if I can pull it off

Can you explain you re avatar to me, its not Caitlin Jenner is it?

**richard2717** · 06-24-2015, 07:35 AM

Jim,
Its just a random pic I found but it may very well be it, her , him, whatever in a few years. One never knows.

I will be curious to see how the white turns out since I have the slots saved for the panel truck. I just figured since the inside edges of the holes on the slots were black (at least on mine) it would be the right way to go( for me anyway) but always open to different ideas. I guess I have seen to many of the rice burners lately with the brite colors showing through the wheels.

Richard
