61 Fury Brakes Seizing when warmed up

My brakes work when cold but when hot they seize or lock up on the right front when I apply the brake pedal. The wheel locks up and the tire screeches and the pedal does not return to normal position without pulling it up. The brakes have 4 stock drums and the stock single master cylinder. Shoes are brand new. Not sure if it is a return spring or drum, or something entirely. Any ideas?

check to see that the hose isn't bubbled or crimped. Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum....

Maybe the wheel cylinder. I had weird issues with my '68 and one of the front wheel cylinders was shot. Replaced them yesterday!

How about some pictures!

Thank you for the input so far. I will check out the brake hose and the wheel cylinder.

I will try to get a picture up later. My car is a white convertible with a white and turquoise interior.

I'm X2 on the wheel cylinder sticking. Same thing can happen with a caliper.
