Thanks Dave. No front brakes, it will ruin the look of the front end. I ran a roadster for many years without front brakes. I think I'll have a chute though.
I was going to run rear disks but I was told that they won't hold it at the line as well as drums, since I'm not going to run a trans brake, just a 4500 converter.
Yes I'm going to add more to the cadge when I pull the body off. Originally I mocked the body up on the frame and then built the cadge inside and then mounted the body to the cadge. It's clean and simple. Does a car like this ever get completely finished ?
I'm just finishing the floor pan, it's aluminum diamond plate (had to use that, I,m a fireman) and am fabing the interior door panels and the trans cover out of .062 wall aluminum.

Thanks John
