Smile Nice

Love the rust treatment your doing to the car! Hope you can do the same to the front end and & wheel wells. I'm looking to keep this car for a long time.

Also, are we going with a front mount intercooler?

And since I want the AC to work well, (you can see I have a new compressor installed) can you take a look at the condensor to see if I needs to be replaced while you have access? I would think if the radiator had a leak, it won't be long before the condensor will go. The few days I had the car with the AC working, it still didn't work that well.

Thanks,

Brian

Question Rear Disc Brakes

Maybe I should go with rear disc brakes too since it looks like I'm going to need all new drum parts anyway?

Unless you have a Transbrake, you will be able to hold more boost on the line with good drum brakes. I don't think Disc brakes on the rear are as good for drag racing.

actually guys, we've already done the rear brakes with new drums, shoes and whl cyls. Looks good and yes, I agree with Bob. But since this is probably more of a street car... the stock rear brakes really are darn good...
