Thanks for the positive feedback. As far as the brakes go we had to machine the front hubs down to clear the C4 rotors. Stock they are 7" and need to be turned down to 5.960. The rotors were redrilled to 5x5 and the center bore was machined out to 3.06. All the studs were replaced for the billet wheels, the stock ones were to short. We built brackets that mount to the spindle where the steering arm mounts and where the the drum mounted at the top of the spindle. We used the Wilwood dynalite billet 4 pistion calipers, and C4 13" rotors. On the rear the axles had to be turned down also to the same measurements as the front. The rear has C4 rear calipers and rotors. The C4 calipers have a built in parking brake, so all we did was use a Lokar universal kit to adapt them to the stock parking brake system. As far as mounting them we built a bracket that welds to the rearend housing. Then we used a 70 corvette master cylinder for a disc/disc system. No proportioning valve is needed for the rear. I'll get vinny to post some more pics of the brackets....
Thanks
