Beautiful Brake



This should probably be a 'Junkyard Jewels' post, given that this beautiful finned drum came in a big parts lot, but this bit's Deuce-bound and ready for primer and Alclad as we speak. Yeah, drums arent as hot as discs when it comes to stopping and longevity, but you gotta admit there's something pretty gorgeous about this finned example. Not got a full set, anyone know what they're from?

These look like some I have seen in early 1960's SMP Chevy kits.

That's poretty interesting to know, thanks for the info 'Anonymous'.

These particular ones came moulded as one piece with a steelie wheel - though the wheel was so rough and damaged it wasn't feasible to repair/restore them. 10 minutes with a razor saw, and I got a gorgeous detail part for my current Deuce porject!
