On other forums I get flack all the time when I tell people to leave their drum brakes alone. Drums work just fine on a street car. The issue is that the quality of the mounting hardware on the aftermarket kits fails and there are problems many times. The conversion with factory parts usually works, but at the age of these cars, not a really common cure these days. I've gone through this with everything from Model T Fords to newer 4x4's....the cars that break down on the tour or cruise are always the 'upgraded' ones, almost never the 'stock' ones.
