Know what I think you should do ???????????? Well if you ask this question where it belongs I'll tell you.

As for this forum, its for introductions. That which you have failed to do.

 

I have 39 Ford Drums on the front of my Stude,57 Olds on the back.I run 120+ in the quarter and can get stopped...or at least slowed down enough to make the first turn off at the track...in other words...if it aint broke,don't fix it...but really my old drum brakes do ok,they aint disc,but they stop a 10 second Stude...my 2 cents worth...R~R
