Welcome to the forum

Looks like you have a good start on your '61. What seats did you use for your 'buddy buckets' ?

[markeb01]

Welcome again. I had the same question about the seats. The cushions look contemporary, but the backs look nice and thin for more leg room.

There was a burb not too long ago that had a hawaiian theme here. 65 chevy Ratiki. I belive there was a build thread also.

The hydroboost will work just fine with drum brakes, but not near as good as with discs. The booster doesn't care what brakes it is working, you just have to have the correct master cylinder.

hydroboost worked well on mine with drum brakes before I converted over to discs. no proportioning valve required. did bust a a few drums though when the pressure had to be applied

I just spent 3 weeks in Kona, beautiful place! My best friends sister got married, we got to cook a big and get all the flowers and stuff from the forest. Was really cool. Good luck on the build.
