Those "A"s or "B"s?  Just curious.  Sure looks nice.  I like the classic brakes on an early car.  I have B brakes on the back of my '66.  I couldn't pass them up as I got them cheap and it was a bolt on.

The brakes are Bs on all for corners. and the center of pan bolts back in with quite abit of hardware, if you look close they are aircraft nutplates hard riveted along sides of tunnel.

John, that is one of the funniest things I've heard in a long time!  I can't stop laughing!  Corn or Flour?

Typical Danny, beautiful work, rough spelling!  I, too, can't wait to see the car.  Best of luck with setting up the shop.
