My Chevelle will just be used for weekend cruising during the summer and never see the track.

It needs a brake job, do you think it's worth doing a front disk brake conversion or just do a 4 wheel drum brake rebuild/upgrade?

I see PST has a brake rebuild kit with metalli-grip (their marketing term) linings etc. for about $350. Doing a front disk conversion, and then rebuilding the rears seems quite a job.

If you drive it @ all i recommend discs up front. It might save your life some day. Mine have saved me more then i can count, to many retarded drivers here in az.

Also discs will work in the rain.
