My father a auto mechanic since the 30's would yell at my brother and I when we would use a 10 lb brass Victory hammer and smack the threaded shaft of the puller to release the drum from the tapered shaft. We never knew why he would, it worked everytime with no damage to anything.
Hi Top Cat, I'm down in Califon. As to the car I've been here 15 years and would remember that! Unless it's in a garage unused it's probably left the area.
Great car! I'm in NJ to and we plan on going to in a couple of years to live. I like seeing cars that aren't restored as you can look at it and think of the life it's had. I marvel at restored cars especially ones where parts are hard to find, and being human we always want to improve things.
So ugly, so cool, 2 tiered grill that has no relation to each other, cantered headlights, fins, I would love to have it! Most likely the only one everywhere you go.
