I run a modified f100 steering box,steering effort is minimal.Cast iron drums,woven shoes and Teds floaters along
With the increased contact area means stopping with mechanical brakes easy,I run a modified engine with OD,and the brakes keep up with the increased speed and better handling.

If I remember correctly your car is also fenderless? Which would make it lighter? Kind of an unfair comparison with a stock Model A in regards with steering and braking isn't it?
