    Okay, so this is my first cl***ic car and I'm stuck on my front drums :confused: my 1950 chevy fast back I've changed the master cylinder all lines and wheel cylinders the rear are good to go but when I went to do the front I pulled the front drums off and all that was there was the shoes no springs or anything else now I ordered the kit and sense it was all taken apart I have no idea how it goes on the right way so if any one could pleas help with some advice, pictures, anything would help thank you. !

    Intros before advice is usually the rule. Tell us about yourself in the intro thread & then you may get the information you are searching for.

    Everything is basicaly the same as the rear less the emergency brake parts. Get on Ebay and buy a "Motor's" manual up to about 55 and it will tell you many things about repairing/maintaing your car.
    PS post a intro if you haven't before some get their ******* in a wad.
    Nice simple car to learn on also ,good luck.

    Welcome to the new guy!! Best hint so far is by JohnEvens, above. Plus, hook up with some other REAL hot rod...custom...type guys. There must be a lot of them in Vegas. One thing, you listed other off topic vehicles. NEVER mention any of them other than the 50 Chev or you'll be flamed big time.
    Agian, welcome to the insanity.

    Old Motor manuals, Chilton manuals, etc., are good at diagrams of the basics like that. That Chev oughta be pretty generic as far as the brake setup goes. I'd suggest you invest in some of those old books, but if you need, I can scan some of the relevant pages and send 'em to ya...

    BTW -- welcome!
