[FWDLK] Update on stuck fast in Hannibal, MO.....

[Steve & Linda Chou <stchou@NEMONET.COM>]

First of all, want to thank everyone that contributed suggestions for
frozen engine on the '57 Plymouth.  Finally got the last two pistons
out, and the block is at the machine shop getting cleaned up, re-bored
and new freeze plugs and cam bearings installed.  Little by little the
work is moving forward.

Now, new challenge, one that I understand may be familiar to some of you
who have worked on cars that have set awhile.  Rear wheels locked
solid.  Brake pedal frozen.  I know that eventually will have to pull
the drums, but the garage that the car has called home for 14 years is
pretty tight working quarters, and if that could wait until car is out
in the open it would be much easier.  The parking brake had been set
when I parked the car long ago, so don't know if I have a bind there as
well.  My first concern is to deal with the most obvious problem.

Again, many thanks to all who have provided suggestions and
encouragement.  Hoping to have the engine going before end of the year.
By the way, if anyone would like to see a pic of work in progress, it is
