Re: 57 Panel "FAKMLC" build

Your experience might be different but I found drilling to be a lot slower and hammering a lot harder than I'd wanted. It does work, but for $85 and a tool you're going to find a lot of uses for, I went air hammer.

The parking brake, I haven't gotten there yet, but I think a custom cable setup (or maybe a repurposed OEM cable from something or other) could make the handle function without the original bell crank & rod setup. I hope so, anyway, because my exhaust manifolds and steering shaft got in the way and the handle brake is just cool.
