This is a "doop" of my post to Coach's '49 3600 thread:

I went to order my frame mount, manual disc/drum dual master cylinder last night and figured, "I may as well check all the sources ONE MORE TIME."

Bingo! A new-in-the-box CPP '55-'59 frame mount kit was listed for $175 obo locally on Craigslist. CPP is asking $219 - yahoo! POL is asking $175.99.

The seller agreed to $150 and I pick it up this afternoon! They're probably all the same kits but this saved me maybe up to $100.

Of course this now brings the need to:
Buy/bend new brake lines
Buy flaring and bending tools. (Recommendations?)

And of course no point installing the MC without having installing the disc brake kit (I already have) but since it mounts to the axle, time to talk to Sid about a 3" drop and modified drop link, steering arm, etc.

It'd PROBABLY be best to pull the dog house off for easy access to the front end and "while I'm in there" to wire wheel/paint the front portion of the frame. Engine clean up, yada, yada....it's a slippery slope!!!
