Location of Hoods on Bars of a Classic

After buying the proper width bars I set them up as I would my current ride and found out the hard way that setting up the bars for riding on the hoods makes using the brakes very hard. The reach is to far to difficult to reach from drops and not smooth and easy that I can really use them from hoods. Did I screw up or do I need to drop them farther down to use in drops only position. I bought new Nitto's old school bend nothing fancy. The brakes just sux. But I do love the bike. That being said how can I tell if I can fit 28's on the frame?
