Kirk -
I personally don't think your approach is wrong. I can understand the urge
some people have to leave a car stock, I just can't relate to it. Our little
cars are sports cars. As such, they are supposed to be driven in a sporting
fashion. To me that means having brakes that will stop you when and where
you
want to stop. I certainly don't fault Ron or anyone else for wanting
originality, it is just not important to me.
I personally would not go as far as some of the Frankenstein cars we all talk
about when they show up on eBay or Craigslist, but if you can upgrade a car
without butchering it to the point it can't be undone, I say go for it.

Ron,
I converted my front end to disk brakes from a latter model. Possibly, you
might end up doing the same?
My 59 stops like crazy - and stays straight. . .
Prior to that I was always dealing with front drum issues.
Just a thought. . .
But that is just me. When I was dealing with SU issues I bought a OER Japan
equivalent to a DCOE 45 and have been in love with it ever since.
Same with the radiator. . I tossed it for a Geo Metro unit. . now runs
cool all the time.
My approach is probably wrong. . . I should have dealt with parts that would
work if I had given them more time.
However, I do like the results that I have been getting with the set up that
I have.
Kirk
