Default 1930 Brakes

Time to ask the professionals. My Brakes they do not do too well. Press hard there's that moment of sponge like feeling (stepping on a rubber ball) push harder and the brakes slow you down to a stop, which takes too much time. Can't get them to lock up no matter how tight i adjust them. Still that sponge feeling. Tired to adjust by the manual (3 Steps with board), can't seem to get them right. All brakes are new from two years very little miles 500 or so. Over time Went from slow stopping to very little reliability. Any suggestions? check the middle arm where the rods are hooked up to, straight up and down. the front rod arm has a small lean forward. Please make comments, i am a new ford owner and need help. Any and all comments on this subject are welcome. I am in Italy.
