That's a good thing.
Something I was taught a long time ago. Before it goes it has to be able to stop. My shop teacher taught us brakes first.
If you add more power you better make sure you can stop it.
What's on the front, 9" drums?
The disk brake swap would be a nice thing to do before you get it going.
That's my 2 cents.
Nice looking car you have there. and you are doing a nice job re doing it. :thumrigh:
