Just bought my dads 57 3100 which he built in the late 70s hoping to do some updating since is pretty scary to drive in current condition.

I bet your Dad said that it drives fine and that he never had any issues with it!
My father had no fear when it came to driving "loose" vehicles that might or might not stop when the brake pedal was pushed!
Another quality post.
