With the drums back on the car I can easily see that the driver's rear is warped. See the picture for the difference in gap. It makes it almost impossible to turn the rear axle....it is fine for a bit then grabs hard and makes it tough to spin.

An old car guy I know (has a dozen 20-30's cars....Ford's and Studebakers, plus dozens of early 1900's tractors) thinks we may be able to do some work with the warped drum to get it back to acceptable. He has all the machining tools if needed, but he thinks we might just be able to pound it out. I'm going to pull the drum and try to get with him this week.

Kevin, while I agree that you might as well try to improve the drum (it's no good that warped), I'm not so sure "pounding" on it would be the right path, as Ozstatman mentions. Perhaps a better method to consider would be using a hydraulic press - somewhat "gentler" and easier to control.
