I tip my hat to the owner for 1 holding onto the car since he was young and 2 doing a heap of the work himself. Fantastic

I love how at 1:05 he said he put disc brakes knowing that Shawn would appreciate that after the incident with the Merc Comet.

I hate drum brakes. Pain the ass to work on. I changed my 68 Camaro to four-wheel disc brakes before there were kits available. Had to use a Corvette adjustable brake proportioning valve to make it work.
