Default Re: Car Search Info

If other clues are present, don't let the drums fool you. Disc brake systems were the first thing removed on a serious drag car. When "Little Hoss" arrived, it had drum brakes, and no power booster. (it is easier to install a line-lock on a non-power set-up) The original (1st after Fred) owner removed them in 1970 when he got serious about winning. Many pro stockers had no front brakes. It is a fast and simple way of removing weight, like moving the battery. If reconverted to street, anything could be put back on.
