Still working on the car, mechanic wasn't able to get the wheel off with the lead hammer, so I'm looking into the Halibrand three eared knockoff spinner tool kit, anyone using the tool and does it fit?

There was no break fluid leak just not enough fluid in there, I assume Backdraft didn't bleed the brakes correctly when they had the car to replace the caliber.

Mechanic hasn't done anything about the engine vibration as the vibration might come from the unbalanced wheel, so we will see once it is finally balanced.

The new discovery was also a fuel leak, had some smell before in the garage, but thought it might be just normal due to having a carburetor.

Yesterday I walked through the garage and I couldn't believe what I was seeing the windshield cracked just being parked there. After reading some posts and seeing the out of stock on the Backdraft web site, I can already see the next long-term problem.

So far the car has been a hell of a nightmare. Not even talking about Backdraft customer service, they just don't care. I will try headquarters next.
