nice find watch my thread (I’m ready). rockauto has almost all the brake parts. if your hoses are bad get stainless hoses you’ll get a much firmer pedal keep us posted on your progress

here’s my pictures     as you can see I got my work cut out for me. yesterday & today I got the front brakes including the backing plates off,painted the new ones. a lot of wire brushing and cleaned up the shock towers I’ll keep you guys posted on my progress I almost forgot there are a couple of pics of sunday at carlisle

ok the body is loose. all that’s left is the speedo cable & master cylinder bottle. I’ll get a couple of neighbors to help me lift it off. I’ll try to get some pictures this weekend.

its about 3 exits from the turnpike towards town, 1 exit from the park where it is going on. 6 bolts & my body is off. spent all weekend cleaning up the garage so I will have room to put somewhere. I hope to have it off by next weekend

this my 2 cents , the car is sooo light I would go with a short duration cam ( eldebrock performer or a PAW equivalant) , small carb 450 or a 500. it will be very docile till you step oni it & give good mpg
