    Would like to see more photo's of the 44 car, as contributor perko3 commented that cow catcher(grille/radiator guard) is a real stout piece, don't believe I've seen a radiator set out front of the engine that far before...

    Just doing some research.

    I just bought my coupe from this guy @myjalopy. At one point those brakes were on my car. But this roadster was in the garage when we picked it up. He had a thread detailing how he did it with some modification to the backing plates to get them spaced right for the drums.
