Hi list, Just a note to all of you about the disk brake system for the 55. I noticed in the pictures of the 55 that had the disks on it, that the front end looked like a newer style A-frame. I would say that he cut the frame and replaced the front half with a sub frame. This would be the easiest up date to do on these cars. I have done this to a 46 olds and have made two frames from scratch, early model furd pu. Sub framing these old cars can be a real job. Judging from the bearing hubs on the conversion it must of been a larger vehicle size. Another way this can be done is by finding a hub that will except the older size wheel bearings. Street Rodders do this with the Dodge rotors on the 38-41 furd wishbone axles. The hydraulic part is easy. I also noticed that there are some company's that are making C-body brake set ups in Street Rodder magazines. I don't know if they make the early imperial sets. The 55 and 56 are becoming very popular with the hot rod crowed. It won't be long.
