Oh you gotta be kidding me. You made him WIRE LOCK the bolts on the backing plates?
Look, man, we all know Permatex Blue is not "period correct," but jay-suess crytower ain't nobody gonna see it inside them brake drums!

Hey now...those bolts were wire locked like that when I got the car (that was the way the 356s and 550s were done)!

As for the brake shoes, trust @alb to pick up on the subtleties. Kinda cool stuff. I like these little details!

It was a whole-day affair for Carey, as lots of little things had to be adjusted to get these "just right." I offered to do this later when the car got to me, but Carey wanted to see it done right.

I'd imagine there will be more photos coming today...
