| The plan: remove the hood, remove the shroud, remove the radiator, horns, and then check the brakes... |
 |
| Notice the shims under the hood bracket. Not gonna remove it there, we removed the three bolts above (mounted to the hood). You can faintly see the line we drew (to make sure to keep the alignment later) |
 |
| Passenger side bracket |
 |
| Looking down at one of the horns... See the F.I. air inlet in the core support? |
 |
| Shroud bracket - removed later. Notice bolt, lock washer, washer. |
 | |
|
 |
| Same 455 horn, with date code: "3B3" - that's the 3rd week of Feb., 1963 That works, for a March '63 car! |
 |
| The other horn...well, not an original. We'll need a 456 (passenger side) |
 |
| Radiator out |
 |
| Lots of room |
 |
| Rubber mallet for the knock-off wheels |
 |
| Off with the knock-off |
 |
| Nice set of Kelsey Hayes knockoff wheels ("K-H D-49985", encircled in a racetrack oval) |
 |
| Brake check time... |
 |
| Easier said, than done. Drums were stuck |
 |
| A lot of muscle |
 |
| Finally got it off. Turns out, the drum was 'out-of-round'. But, the brake shoes were fairly new. You could see how they were only making contact with part of the drum surface. |
 |
| Hard to see, but that circle, to the left of the K-H part number, is actually the date coded ink stamp. |
