Little history of a car here...

My buddy got a 70 chevelle off some guy.. and a few weeks after buying it he's driving down the road and the car starts vibrating a bit and pulling funny.. so he stops and gets out and the front tire is on a 30 degree angle being held on by ONE stud.. The bastard who sold it put aftermarket studs in, BUT the holes were rounded out so the studs were barely held in.. theyr were all loose becasue obviously when he tried tightening the stud would jsut turn!!!

That being said.. we need some front hubs for his car smile.gif

Is it worth it to switch to front disc? or just keep th efront drums.

Does anyone have parts for sale for either job?

Thanks!

In this day and age driving around with all these modern cars on the road with far better brakes than you have on your best day.... YOU ARE COMPLETELY INSANE TO NOT UPGRADE TO DISC now that you have a good opportunity to do so. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but you WILL be thankful it was done at some point. Possibly because you can still walk, talk, and move everything below your neck.
