Matt167 is right on all counts. You have a typical tube axle front end as used on most T buckets. And he is correct about the master cylinder on the firewall. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES PUT IT ON THE FIREWALL. All you have there is fiberglass and wood, not enough to take the pushing of the pedal. It will flex and break loose. They put them on the floor for a reason, don't reinvent the wheel.

As for your brakes, you are getting too serious for your first build. Flaring stainless brake tubing is NOT for the beginner, or even experienced people, sometimes. It is a bear to do right. Go to someone liKe INLINE TUBES, and order the tubing with the proper ends on it. They will custom make it to whatever length you want, and it is cheap.

Next. 1 inch plywood is way too heavy. Use 5/8, and get a book at the library on fiberglassing. You will want to read the chapter on "tabbing" because that is what you will be doing.

If that is your T in the picture, it is a great car. Don't get nuts with it and start changing too much, because of your inexperience. All you will do is screw up a good car, and get discouraged. Since brakes are one of your problems, get an expert to set them up for you. You are playing with your life and other drivers lives, so the brakes have to be right.

Keep watching, because we are building a T in our $ 3K buildup, and will be doing all of the stuff you want to do, so there should be some good info for you on brakes, suspension, glassing, etc.

Just have patience, and learn a little at a time, and you will come out ok. Post any questions you have, and, oh, by the way.........DON'T PUT THAT MASTER CYLINDER ON THE FIREWALL !!!!
