I agree with everything you said.
Original drum brakes are fine.
The brake failure scenario is accurate although all my old Corvettes are that way. But the 57 Gasser I'm building uses a dual master cylinder.
I just saw that Speedway Motors now sells a dual master cylinder that resembles a original Delco master cylinder, pretty cool.
Also, DOT 5 is the only way to go, works fine doesn't attract moisture and won't hurt paint.
The best sound system is the sound from the engine, no high power stereo for me.
My good 57 fuel car is painted base/clear and with some minor shrinkage over the past 3 years the paint would probably pass NCRS judging.
