Hi, I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and were going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Okay, now we'll put the drums back on and the wheels back on. This vehicle has no miles on, so there's no appreciable ware on the break drums, so the drums slide right on. If your doing a job on a vehicle that has miles on it, the break drum will sometimes be worn and you'll have to back off on the rear breaks in order to get the drum off and adjust them to get it back on as well. These are just temporary wheels and tires were putting on the truck until the customer decides what he wants for permanent. So that's why we have the ugly lug nuts and the ugly wheels.
