So Dad's car (69 340 Swinger) has drums on all 4 corners. He doesnt plan on racing the car, but he does plan on driving it. As such, I dont think we need to swap to disk or anything trick, but rather make sure the current brakes are in working order. I pulled the drums for the front and checked them out. Everything inside looks good (almost new). I think I will probably just pop the whole assembly off, tape off openings, clean the backing plate, paint, and be done with it... unless you guys know of a weakness (other than being drum brakes) that I should specifically address? Either front or back.
