Roy, I cant help but ask you why you want to do that...

Drum brakes in good tune work very well. And I know since my 1960 coupe has been my daily driver for 4 years when I lived in San Francisco: daily commute on the busy highways to Silicon Valley and back, and lots of city driving, up and down the hills.

That said, if you have to spend a lot of money in restoring the brake system anyway, disc brakes are certainly an option - if youre not concerned with originality.

Heres the list of suppliers that - at one level or another - can help you:
