    After driving my a coupe several times I've noticed my '40 ford brakes get fairly warm. I want to add scoops and drill the backing plates. Anybody have any pics of ( preferably ) home made scoops?

    There is a tech somewhere on the HAMB where a guy took ****er dishes bought from Target and made them into scoops. They looked awesome and would be exactly what you're looking for.

    If not that then Steve Sellers has really nice sets and one HAMB member has been trying to sell a set for $50 for like a year now.
