    Welcome back to the HAMB from Illinois.

    My first question, if you want to drive your 57 ford, why use time and money to put disc brakes on it? Why not rebuild the original brakes, cheap and easy, then enjoy driving it?

    Nice looking car.
    Only a few months until spring.
    Use your disc brake money and plan a road trip.
    Traveling in an old car is the most fun!
