    Howdy All,
    I'm moving right along with my build. Over the weekend I sold the 235, tranny, and rear end out of my '41. I'm going to have it out by this weekend, and ready for fellow who bought it to pick it up. Next I'm going to do the brakes. I have a booster, and master cylinder that is new in the box that came with the car. Going with disc on the front, and rums on the back. Who do you folks recommend for the brake parts?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Chevs of the 40s and ECI have front kits. You need to pick a Chevy rear end. Monte Carlo has 11" drums.

    I'm certain that Scarebird also makes a kit for converting the fronts. He'll supply you with the brackets and necessary custom parts, and give you a parts list to complete job. All the parts will be available at your local NAPA. Another option to consider, also the most cost effective, IMHO.

    I just did a Scarebird on my 50 Plymouth. Everything went together pretty easy. The new hub set up was for a 2006 Jeep though. I just bought wheel spacers and converted it to 5.5 stud spacing, same as my Ford Bronco 8.8 rear transplant. Now I don't need 2 different spares

    I was happy with the kit that I received from ECI.

    Scarebird conversion on my off topic 67 Skylark worked for me. Easy to do and works great.
