repacked the bearings and inspected the brake shoes, I know it don't show it but i cleaned everything, then i helped put it back together. the hub caps were hand made, i'll show that in the next set of pics

This is for you naysayers who think i don't do any of the work, come on its not like i go "hey babe take a pic of me working". i take pics of her cause i'm proud to have a wife that wants to get out there and get her hands dirty.
And zout, you who 'doesn't like to have his picture taken'...

My wife bid and won her first deuce 4-22-2010, euc was sent to battle creek 4-28-2010, today she got her paid in full invoice and we are going to try to recover it tomorrow, she is extremely excited. oh it was event 5143. hang in there guys they are rolling in slowly but surely.
