I HATE doing these style drums, with that evil W spring and the crazy parking brake cable attachment.Anyway looks like I caught them just in time; the front shoe on both sides was just about to the metal, but not quite.  (it's a little thinner towards the bottom edge)[ATTACH=full]1514[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1515[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1516[/ATTACH]The original drums actually looked pretty good, no real lip and no grooves.  I don't have anything to measure them with to see if there's life left in them and I already had the new drums as I suspected these were shot.. but since they might be OK, and are OEM, I stuck em in the boxes on the shelf "just in case"Got everything back together, initial adjustment, and wheels torqued.  Drove it around the neighborhood a little bit and I can tell I need to adjust a little bit more.Then swapped out these Chinese GM headlights that barely made it a year before hazing/yellowing, and put some TYC's on.  Funky old ones[ATTACH=full]1517[/ATTACH]Also gave the turn signals a quickie polish with some Scratch-X; they weren't bad but needed a tiny bit of loving so they'd match the new headlights better.  New lights installed and aimed.[ATTACH=full]1518[/ATTACH]Richard</blockquote>
