Re: Project "FatBoy"

Thanks, guys! It's coming along! I'm still trying to save up a bit for the frame re-alignment, since that will set be back a few bills. I'm hoping to get the frame re-aligned, suspension aligned, and finally inspection in the next month or so so I can finally drive this baby.

I've got a weird thing going on with my emergency brake, though. It seems to be stuck. Do you all know if maybe there is a spring or something in the rear drums that may be weak? I've been thinking about just doing a spring replacement kit on both drums. When I push down on the pedal for the e-brake, it doesn't pop back up once I release it. I've read some posts and the issue is definitely not inside the cab, like others note. It's almost like it's not releasing the cable from the drum brake assembly itself or something.

Any thoughts? I'd like to get this fixed this weekend.
