Down home we call that “licking your calf over again”
It sold for $10,400
Got the heads pulled off and the replacement set painted orange. Borrowing a valve spring tool tomorrow, then reassembly.
Got the Valiant up off the floor and pulled the tires off. Started cleaning 58 years of grease and dirt out to get down to the parts so I can photograph and measure everything before disassembly.
18V Milwaukee 1/2" impact wrench worked like a charm. Those lugs hadn't been moved in a while.

Whatcha doin to it.
Front disc conversion...
Adding power boost
Which led to PST front suspension kit (OEM Rubber)
Inline tube metal brake lines
Rear wheel cylinder replacement
I put a Restored KH setup on my 66. It stops as good as new modern vehicles...With a sweet duel diaphragm booster...

I had a 318 Volare-got $100 for it. (approx 30 years ago) Wouldn't pass inspection, so sold it to Father in Law. He just wanted to park it directly across the street from neighbor's house and leave it there to rot.
Nice.
I thought about doing disk in front.
Figure I'll wait to see how it stops once I get the new motor in. Should be about 2-3 years down the road .
Yeah...Stopping was a bit of a scheduled event with the old system.
Boom goes the furnace. Waiting on tech now.
Cool.
I'm such a freaking rookie at this. Going to call in my uber-gearhead brothers for a build party weekend soon.

'boom' literally, or just died? What fuel?
Well worth it in the long term, going big bolt pattern or staying small?
Fire up a Salamander.
As far as I know, there is only one booster setup that works for our early A's. Wolfie got one and it worked great.. I lost the link.....
Staying small. I really like the old school aluminum slots I have and the stance of the car. It was a PITA because the 14" wheels and 9" drums required a "special order" which took forever (140 days)
Sure does.
Then again I never drive over 30 mph.
I templates the booster dimensions to check fitment. There's no squirter but I do have a transmission cooler so if the booster is an issue I'll just go with the dual pot master and forgo the power. Figure compared to the manual all-drum it'll still be a big upgrade.
I have the info on the setup Tim hooked me up with. I'll pull it up and post tomorrow.
My niece kicked my butt today.

Went to a stamp bourse today. Got some good deals on several early US I needed for my collection.
