Well, to tell the truth, we haven't gotten there on $ 3000 either. I have sort of gotten carried away a little on mine, and Don has gotten WAY carried away on his, and as for Dan, he never did have a budget in mind, and since he is single too, he can indulge himself a little. But, I swear I will do a car under $ 3K and finish it in the future.

As for the brakes, they are one of my Ebay scores. They are mid-'70's GM with an aftermarket mounting setup, whose, I don't know. The guy in the ad said he replaced these with a Wilwood setup on a customers car. I couldn't pass them up because the spindles, calipers, and mounts are chromed, and have the '49 -'54 Chevy spindles I needed. I have to admit, they are a little heavy compared to Wilwoods, and if they prove to be so, it will be a simple matter to switch over, as the spindles are already machined. But I don't think they will be a problem as they sure are lighter than the drum setups I run.
