I do use exclusively drum brakes on the cars I build, mainly because I like them...........oh, here goes that word again.........traditional.But, there is a reason most if not all newer cars come with front discs (at least). They stop better. My drums work fine because I use all new parts and keep them adjusted, but I have to admit when they get wet they aren't as effective as they should be. Even after washing the car the first few stops are dicey.
For the kinds of cars I build for me discs just look too modern IMO. I also don't like disc brake dust.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
