A pleasure to deal with

For a car that has will soon celebrate 60 years, it shows signs of a "younger" car. Last night I tackled the front right brakes. With the exception of worn out brake lineings, everything else looked to be in remarkable shape! I disassembled the master cylinder and all the copper lines for the front brakes. At the same time, I took apart the front right brake components (shoes, cylinder, hose, unions, etc). With the exception of a slightly stuck brake piston, everything went apart rather easilly. A quick glass blasting in the cabinet and clean gleeming metal was everywhere!

The cylinder will need a light honing, but I think that it will certainly do. A couple of rebuild kits for the wheel and master cylinders and that should be it!

From the paperwork that was found in the glovebox/shelf under the dash, you could see that previous owners took care of this car, and I thank them as well as Jim for being able to store the car under cover and his surgeon-like ability to remove the parts he required while leaving the rest intact.

I adjusted the parking brake enough so that the car can be left on its own without fear of rolling away!
