This site is dedicated to the restoration of my 1963 Plymouth Savoy 2-door Sedan. Built in the era that cars still had some decent cubic inches and horsepower. Hail to all the Super Stock racers!

Rear wheel-hub-a-dub
The rear wheelstuds needed to be replaced; They are pressed in the wheelhub. I cut off the threaded end, and pressed them out
of the hub. Installed new threaded bolts, which I ordered at Ze Moparzhop in Zjermany.

needed some extra shims to set the rear-axle endplay
I swapped the worn 741-pumpkin with a later style 489 suregrip casing.
The latter has a wider thrustblock, so the driveshaftbearings needed some extra shimming.
I made my own shims of 2.5 mm thick steel plates, a drillingmachine and some sparetime.
Works like a champ.
