not feelin' it

 

Well, it's your car. No front brakes........man. I'm sorry, but that's just uncalled for, in this day and age. I'd, meaning "ME", would rethink what you have going on there. Good luck. Seriously, good luck.

 

Sorry but that car is too cool for fugly wheels and no brakes. HRP

 

Please tell me that those are just rollers, while the real wheels are out having tires mounted...

 

Going for the old retro warehouse look?

 

Not a good choice, you NEED front brakes.

 

I think those wheels and full fendered are in conflict. Maybe if you were fenderless it could work, but I am in agreement with the general feeling of others.

Also agree that no front brakes is taking big chance with all the cell-phone yapping, texting, too loud stereo listening, distracted idiots out there on the roads.

 

Not the right look for the rest of the car.

 

It would benefit from canted quads......

 

Years ago, 40 plus, I road a Harley Panhead chopper with no front brakes,the bike didn't compare to the coupe in weight.

I found myself in a situation where a panic stop was inevitable and got on the rear brake with hard stomp with a size 12 engineer boot,,didn't stop quick enough and i ended up getting banged up.

The reality is you can't control the actions of others,texters,idiots or just bad drivers. HRP

 

I wouldn't want to see those wheels, on that car, without front brakes, in my rearview mirror while having to make a panic stop in traffic.

 

Nice coupe. Wrong wheels. No front brakes is dumb. Back to the drawing board.

 

You are going tooooo many directions with that car. Pick a theme and stick to it. Plus Put front brakes on it or don't drive it!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I've heard that the front brakes do 90% of the work during a hard stop, and the rears only do 10% due to the cars weight shifting forward. Rear brakes only work on lightweight rails and altereds with huge rear tires. I wouldn't do it on a regular street driven vehicle.

good! what do the new wheels look like?

 

If that is a street driven car, take yourself out of the running for the Darwin Awards (http://www.darwinawards.com) and put some front brakes on that.

 

Nice wheels- Nice car....Poor Judgement

A lot of critics on the HAMB! Big suprise. I guess no one on here is a fan of Magnesium 12 spokes. Sorry my car is such a HAMB disappointment!!

Your insurance may not cover you in an accident. Something else to think about.........

 

You have been around long enough to know what the Hamb is like and you also know the members are opinionated.

12 Spokes are cool,on a drag car..no brakes on the front is just not safe. HRP

 

If I had to guess, I would say the OP is pulling a few legs here.

 

Change the name from turd to "conflicted"...........agree with too many directions and picking and sticking with theme..................also ran drag car back in the late 70's, early 80's with no front brakes. But that was when i was younger and fearless..............not good idea then and certainly not on the streets now.

 

No soup for you!!






Next!

 

Doesn't matter what kind of wheels you put on it...you need brakes meng...

...spending all of my hard earned money and time rebuilding a 1956 Buick...

 

The coupe itself is bad ass. I think the light in the picture as well as the shadow from the fenders is throwing it off for some. Just be careful.

 

Looks like you raped a pair of wheelbarrows.
Tell me also when you pulled off the front brakes you upped your life insurance?
Please don't follow me in heavy traffic.

 

Lucky - you asked for the opinion ! Seems everyone is on the same page but you!!

 

Cool wheels, but body needs a more competition look...
