Project "Chihuahua" '65 Formula S Restoration "Estilo Mexicano"
Update: After three years off the road, two brake cylinders froze so we replaced all four. I refinished one front drum that I suspect was a little out of round the way it was scraping the brake shoes off and on when spinning the tire. Front wheel bearing races and bearings replaced as well. The transplanted 8 3/4 rear end brakes do not have self-adjusters (and the transplant differential uses later model wheel cylinders with smaller threaded fasteners compared to model year 1965).
