drum brakes are ok as long as you adjust your expectations and drive further from the car in front (that has modern brakes). the trouble is we all want these old cars to drive like our daily drivers so we go down the rabbit hole of 'upgrades', lol.

BS in my original 48 Willys, driving normal twice I have had to drive over the curb, to avoid some *** doing something stupid.
The brakes are all new and work 100%, the stock drums cannot match the stopping distance of modern disk cars.
Yes I give tremendous extra gap, because the Willys is a nut and bolt restoration.
