1930 Chevy sedan build thread...trying for 3K.

[buckroseau]

Been a couple weeks since I posted any work...because I haven't done any Had some important stuff going on the last couple weeks

Managed to get a couple hours in tonight. Spent that time bending up and flaring brake lines, got all the hard lines done.

One thing I did and didn't think about it until now is whether it would work or not, (although I can't imagine why it wouldn't work) Is that I mounted my adjustable proportioning block with the adjustment knob and presure switch down. I did that to make access to brake lines easier once the body is back on, and to route the lines. If anyone sees a reason why that wouldn't work..please let me know?

Another question for the brake guru's. I was able to round up the front axle off a 53 Ford F100. From my understanding the 53 -56 Ford F100 hub and brake set up will bolt right up to my 40 Ford axle with new inner bearings. My question is: I'm I going to have a problem with my Ford wire spoke rims fitting around the 53 drums? The 40 drums are tapered hard so the dish behind the wire spoke rims has no problem clearing the drum. Just wondering if I am going to need a spacer like my Ford 9" rear end?

Thanks in advance, Matt
