Also, Bobby, if you haven't done anything with your clutch pedal yet, on page 143 of Bob Drake's new catalog he has a 39 Hydraulic Brake & Clutch Pedal Assembly that's designed to use the orignal 3 bolt MC or the later 2 bolt Ford MC with dual reservoir. pt#91A-2473-K, $250. Don't think it lets you use a power booster if you wanted power brakes. Looks like a nice bolt-on unit for 35-38 Fords if you don't want to hassle with re-working yours.

I`m not running power brakes on mine, has no problem stopping, actually stops better than my truck which has power brakes.....

Only thing that can get you is heat fade and water . That's why the disc system will not falter here .

Randy yes I am still going with power disc in all 4 corners just for the power stops . Traffic and people can be mayhem right .

This is the route we take to one of our favorite 4 day shows in Sept, Tahoe cool Sept days, its 110 miles thru mtn country, from sea level to 6,500 ft above sea level, several times in sever rain storms about two inches an hour, never had a brake issue. Been there now for 15 years, last eight with the `37

That looks like a beautiful drive, Rich! And to drive it in the '37 would be a blast!
I look forward to taking mine on some nice trips like that..........someday...

Last year we had 12 cars follow up, I`ll see if any of them have road trip pics they can foward to me. I had my wife shoot some one year but she can`t hold the camera steady or something they never come out..

Besides the house chores I have been working the door gaps . Welding and metal finishing so the Taiwan skin looks better . I had to cut some down in the front and weld it up some in the rear . I think I am getting happy with its fit and calling it done .
