Just Finished My Disk Brake Install
Well, I just installed a front disk brake kit on my 1955 Buick. Easy peasy and I thought the conversion on the 5th wheel was easy. At least these drums were already hydraulic so that was a major reduction in work.
I also needed to add a new radiator and rebuild all the bushings and mounts on the sway bar.
My trailer money tree has been poached for the new toy! What will I do?
Oh, and new wheels and tires go on SaturdayLast edited by TucsonJim; 07-25-2018 at 01:50 PM.

Looking really good, Paul. Thanks for posting! I think we need some category other than “Off Topic” for things like this that will be of great interest to many on this forum. Maybe “Hobbies” ?

I love old cars. Off topic is a good topic. DW just bought herself a Kymco Spade 150cc motorcycle. Only time will tell if it was good purchase.

So I finished up my current project today mounting the new wheels/tires.
So far I have replace the gas tank, all rubber fuel lines, fuel pump and rebuilt the carburetor due to rust in the tank clogging everything. Replaced the coil and converted to electronic ignition. Replaced the sway bar brackets, bushings and tie rod ends and had the front end aligned. Replaced the OEM radiator with a new aluminum unit. Converted the front drum brakes to disk. Replaced the wheels/tires.
I am having a modest stereo system installed next week. I still need to do some work on the front end. I think the steering box may need to be replaced or rebuilt. I also need to add an electric radiator fan and I need to put new shocks in.Paul "Poppy" and Deb Cervone

Hey Paul - Rob worked with Chris to get the "Hobbies" section of the forum created. I just moved your thread to that new section. Neat project.
