On Saturday morning Mark welded up an adapter bracket that Grumpy had made.  I dont know current progress as I bailed for my sons birthday party.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday morning I thought, glad I am not grumpy having to get that sorted out this week, especially when its so hot to be working on cars.  All I have to do is replace u bolts on rear end, check fluids and insulate the cabin some more.  But by the end of Sunday night I was looking at disassembled rear brakes on my Sedan Delivery.  It started off with me wanting to fix my emergency brake that is super hard to apply.  So hard that I have bent the lokar bracket and the cable was not aligned properly.  I took that off, straightened it and welded a brace to the back of it.  Then going on down the line to find the issue, the drag\/friction\/effort is all in the rear end.  Seeing as parts are not too $$$ and I hadnt replaced them when I built the car I thought why not.  Now I am waiting on parts to arrive and I guess have no guarantee it will fix anything!<\/p>\n<p>First 2 pics are Grumpy, last one is me.  Salina here we come!<br \/>\n\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1044 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail gallery1'><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n\/\/ <![CDATA[\r\n\tjQuery(document).ready(function () {\r\n\t\tjQuery(\".gallery1 a\").attr(\"rel\",\"gallery1\");\t\r\n\t\tjQuery('a[rel=\"gallery1\"]').colorbox({maxWidth:\"95%\", maxHeight:\"95%\",title: function(){ return jQuery(this).children().attr(\"alt\"); }});\r\n\t});\r\n\/\/ ]]>\r\n<\/script>\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.misfitsmidwest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMAG0479-1024x612.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.misfitsmidwest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMAG0479-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.misfitsmidwest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMAG0482-1024x612.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.misfitsmidwest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMAG0482-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.misfitsmidwest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMAG0494-1024x612.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.misfitsmidwest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMAG0494-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Its a case of &#8220;beating the heat&#8221; and &#8220;the heat is on&#8221; to get to Salina this weekend.
