Well, kind of done. Still have to make new front hard lines since none came with the car. Using the information here, I modified the stock '66 drum spindles to make them work with the used disc brake setup I got from a buddy. Don't know the brand of the kit but it was for a manual brake setup and everything bolted right up :)
Here be the old dirty stocker...

After milling off quite a bit...

Had to modify the stock top bolts since I couldn't find the two needed in the parts pile.

The rusty mess of a used disc brake setup :) Yes, the friend I got the setup from is a drag racer hence the long studs.

An even more dirty mess of drum brakes

Next on the list, hard lines. After that I'll finally get to drop the engine and trans in so I can move this sucker around myself :D
