jcwsky: welcome aboard  by the way the most simpelest way to put brakes on the front is to switch the axle out for a 54/55/56/chevy truck with hydralic brakes  that way you could get it road worthy and be able to drive it drums front drums back I don't think your going to be peeling any rubber off this soon so you would have plenty of stopping power for a street rod as a mater of fact you could use the master brake cylinder and prop vale from the same truck.I am sure you would have it up and running in no time.Are you planning on running the pontiac wire wheels vette59jdwl

Well, so much for working on the car this winter.  I got lazy, work interfered, other projects got started......
Now, the weather is nicer and I am getting back into the groove, I am going to finish the inside of the car and get it re-wooded and ready for new wires, speakers and lights, and a new top braces.  After that I need to figure out what the inspection rules are for old cars in West Virginia so that I know what I need to do to get the car drivable without a lot of work.  Once I figure out the brakes everything will come together.

Usually there is a point where everything starts to go together fast. The weather has been good since the snow storm last weekend.

When the weather breaks, that always gives me a good "shot in the arm" to get working!
Consider one other option if you are not satisfied where your fan is located: a Zip riser, that's what I used on my car. It raises the location of your fan and keeps it mechanical. It mates up to a Chevy 6 cyl water pump. I have been running one in my car with no problems.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn
