More trunk pan work. AMD had it pretty close, but I've finally tweaked it to perfection. Feeling pretty accomplished.

Rebuilt the rear drum brakes using the $100 kit from Dr. Diff.  Pretty much everything you need.  https://www.doctordiff.com/drum-brake-rebuild-kit.html
Used the DIY by Shane Kelly which is great.  https://forum.e-bodies.org/wheels-tires-brakes-suspension-and-steering/12/rear-drum-brake-build/3489/
Mine didn't get cleaned up quite as nicely but that will come when I swap in the B-body housing.

Great to know for when I get to that step. Thank you!

@gzig5 did it provide step by step directions for guys like me that are tooled and have the capability, but don't do it often enough to not fumble around a bit?

??  Did what provide step by step?  The DYI is in the link.  It's not literal step by step, but the pics of disassemble/assemble are pretty much in order.  I loosely followed along and reassembled in reverse order of how I took it apart.

Continued with prepping the original tail panel (welding up drilled out spot welds) for reinstalling after removing it to slide in the very impressive AMD trunk pan. Was delighted to find the rear frames in great condition. All in all very enjoyable job made even easier by the efficiency of @MoparDave at Roseville.

I shot a lot of lacquer in the 80's. Good stuff.
