    I was just looking at the brakes, and thinking about ordering some shoes, cylinders, and hoses....which is all it appears to need. Stock is fine for me, too.

  5. My 60 had drums, i rebuilt everything and they were fine in the flatlands of the great state of Indiana. The 57 was converted to disc in the 90’s and i saw no need to go back to drums. But had it still been drums might have left ‘em.

    That's a fact. Lumpy's Vette is obnoxious.
     
  9. Or so he says. Have you actually seen it in action or just heard him brag about it?:D

    drum brakes are ok up to a hundred or so, but over 120 a guy might like to have disks.

    Welp, he sends me videos. Of course with all this AI stuff in the news, I guess it could be all computer generated. :p

    Thanks for the info on the shifter, I was wondering if someone made one. But I'm going to see about getting a 4 speed, after all....
