I am getting ready to do a 1950 Ford. What would make a good front end clip for this car? Thanks Dennis

I can't figure why people rush into clip jobs on Shoeboxes. Seems like a lot of work for very little improvement over a simple disc brake conversion on a stock front end.

Your right Mike. Rebuilt the front end and convert to disks for a cruiser and all set.

You can also convert to a dual master/power brake system and keep the drum/drum setup. Master Power Brakes www.mpbrakes.com.
There is a heftier sway bar available thru Jamco Suspension. It really improves the ride.
By using the conversion kits available (brakes, steering and suspension ), you can save yourself headaches by not having to fabricate to get the front clip back on properly. IMO

Thanks for all of the input. Was just trying to get some ideas. Does any body know who makes a good disk brake conversion. Thanks
