Good evening all. Been bust lately with work and family but am going to try and get some updates posted on the project.
I've actually made a lot of headway so some of these posts will have happened months ago
I apologize for the delays lol.
So to back up here are a few more shots of the car prior to disassembly .

Finishing the front end and brake components and rebuilt the calipers.
I have the correct 68' dual piston calipers but the 2 piece rotors were too thin for use ,and they are heavy compared to the single pistons, so those were used .

Cleaned up some low mileage rotors and drums from another car . The drums still have the adjusting knock out plugs and rotors have ink stamps.
