1964 Valiant "Get Runnin & Drivin"
Got some work done today. Evan came by as promised. While he was pullin the gas tank, I started on the brakes. I didn't even look when I pulled the drums, but the thing has NEW SHOES all the way around. The drums were paper thin, though. I replaced three wheel cylinders. Why not four? I'll tell you why. Because leave it to ME to get a wheel cylinder with the bolt holes drilled, but NOT THREADED. LOL
Anyway, Got the wheel cylinders on that "I could" lol. Evan got the tank out and there was maybe a gallon in it. Probably less. To our astonishment, not only was there NO RUST, but there was no sediment or dirt. While the outside of the tank looks 54 years old, the inside looks NEW. The sending unit is also very clean and tested GOOD. I ordered brakes hoses too, but they are not here yet. Once they get here and the new hopefully threaded wheel cylinder, I can have brakes. Tomorrow, I am going to put the master cylinder on and do the tune up and change the oil.
I know. Text heavy no pics. They're comin. lol
