    Got the rear brakes and brake line on the back of the Biscayne. Now need lug nuts. This car may hit the streets this year yet.

    The rings and cone seem to exaggerate the dish

    I’d probably stick with the old, depending on how old. Nothing with flat tappets is getting better.

    The first redneck body puller didn't work. It just pulled the vehicles together and flexed the suspensions.

    I had to rig up a fixture that sat inside the trunk. Strapped it to the winch bumper for insurance. It kept the winch from tearing out of the wood.

    That reminds me of using the power pole out front of my shop and a wrecker pulling on the car we were trying to get into shape.

    So good. Necessity is the mother of invention.
     
  11. This may be a stupid question but where or how do you get the little chrome ring on the wheel That surrounds the lug nuts? I have seen this treatment a few times and I really like it It. feels very early '60s or late '50s in the looks department.
