I started in yesterday putting my drum recaction arm kit on my coach. I got the passenger side apart and cleaned, and the lead wheel kit on and buttoned up. Gonna rain tomorrow evening, if I get the holes countersunk Tuesday evening, I'll hang the kit wednesday evening and button it. Then if I can get the old brake lines loose, I can complete the passenger side. Turn the coach around and go for the driver's side, hopefully finish it by next Sunday night. Ready for Bean Station. Thoughts on the kit (from Applied):

Good instructions. You might could screw it up, but you got to try.
Everything fits so far.
The cutter wants a 1/2" drill, a 1/4 or 3/8ths won't work. (I picked up a big B&D down to the pawn shop for $40).
I'm doing the brakes as well, new cyinders, shoes, hardware.
The kit is short a couple of pieces, the condition of the boxes when it got here make me believe they're in a FedEx truck someplace. I'll get replacements headed out tomorrow.
Given the effort, it ought to stop on silver coinage and give chaqnge. If it doesn't, I will be S.P. (Sore Pist)
And, there's a new BWD to supervise. I would of put up a picture, but theres a 1075byt limit.
