Default Finished the Brakes!

i thought it was appropriate to post a thread because i just finished the braking system for my 1976 mustang II cobra! It was the first step in my restomod of the mustang. now i can push it down the street and be able to stop. i thought that was more important than being able to accelerate but others might argue against that .

it wasn't in the budget to do 4 disks or 5 lug but that's a future project once the car runs. I just added new parts to the stock brakes. also had to replace a few lines, rebuilt the calipers myself ect. now im painting the inside flat black. lots of work to do still but making progress

i agree with you, braking before accelerate

I'm also working with my rear brakes to convert to Discs, not easy ones since i need to find the perfect system for the car
