    New front drums not fitting correctly

    I know I started talking about this in another thread, but I cannot for the life of me figure out whats going on. Maybe its something similar I am overlooking, I don't know.

    Couple Front Drum Brake Q's

    So I've been rebuilding all four drum brakes for a few weeks now when I have time, mostly just running into issues with the brakes lines.

    Price for Roof Replacement

    Anyone done a front drum to disc conversion?

    So the drum brakes on my car now look like they are from 1973 and just need to be replaced regardless. What I want to know is if anyone has done the front drum to disc conversion, what kit they bought, and if you have any tips about the process.

    73 Fastback Portsmouth VA

    Not mine, but I came across this fastback for 4k while I was looking through Craigslist if anyone is interested. Looks like it might be mostly body work and interior, but who really knows. https://norfolk.craigslist.org/cto/5700339645.html

    Hello from East Carolina

    Last week I went and looked at a 73 Coupe in Newport News. I was planning on buying it then and there, but the loan check didn't arrive before the weekend, so we settled on a deposit. She will be mine next week though when I am out of training. (The car is $2300) Being that I cannot yet drive a...
