    Well just p***ed 4000 miles with the car this summer. The highlight of the year was participating in Deuce days in Victoria BC this year. 5 days of nothing but Hotrods with beautiful weather can’t be beat.

    One of the things that has always bugged me was my disk brakes. 11 years ago when I started this project I just ordered a complete Pete and Jake’s front end. The front disks definitely stop the car but due detract from the front end a bit. I have the car registered to race in the Dogwood Dust up next May to fit the theme better I have decided to swap over to the Boiling brothers MT brakes. I purchased as pair from @krylon32 this fall. Just starting to put them together now.

    Now I also need to decide if it’s time to take the easy route and change up the car to open wheel and ditch the cycle fenders or invest the time to rework the mounts to fit the drums.

    Love the fenders I’d make them work

    Fenders are keepers in my eyes and changing the brakes a plus also.
