Re: 1967 Custom Sport Truck

What a terrible weekend. It started raining on Thursday and still hasn't stopped. It has literally been raining/misting/or just dreary (then rain 10 minutes later.)

I managed to make piddly progress on the truck.

I broke one of the dust shield bolts off in my brand new spindles. What a pain in the ass that was. 4+ hours, about $20+, a broken extractor, new larger and tapped hole later I had my shield back on the PS. That was frustrating. The bolt I broke didn't even feel like it was going in hard, it just got close to down and snapped. It just felt a little tighter to turn, but not bad, like I had too much paint in the hole.

I also didn't know you had to trim a good chunk out of the dust shields with drop spindles.... now I know.
