Very nice...when are you gonna do something about the front drums? That thing is screaming for a big brake kit. I can hear it from here =P

Werd... It's not happy.... not even a little bit.
It's unhappy. Geeds... it's bordering on distempered.
Help that goat.

well right now the GTO stops on a dime with those drums after they were reworked a few years ago discs will come eventually
Front drums are just plain nasty, Nova up at the bodyshop still has those...and they suck. Glad to hear the GTO's work nicely, though I'd definately upgrade.
How much was the Hotchkis setup might I ask?

around $1400
comes with all you see here
there is alot better stuff that hotchkis out there
sway bars, springs are ok , the rest isnt near the top , the bushings bind the suspension up
Swap to front disc. Disc will stop better than drums. Their's tons of ways to swap to drums cheaply making your own kit.
You can buy the kit pretty cheap in the summit catalog.
You can also piece something together- cheaper than this as well. That is what I'm doing on my 69 chevelle. You can buy the brackets from ebay for 40. Then just have to buy hoses, calipers, and rotors.

booked mark but disc brakes will be done later I'm just wanting to get the suspension done before woodward
after woodward the frame is coming out and getting blasted, straightened, and either powder coated or painted (might have it boxed up also)
you really dont need woodwards on it unless you plan on making that engine put down serious power
we did a simple power front disc set up on my mustang, and it stops better than the cavy does (well most things stop better than a cavy)

Have you thought about using por 15 on the frame? It's supposed to be the sh*t. Thats probably what I'll be using.
It seems quite a few people are having their frames galvanized dipped, so it'll never rust again. I'm not sure on what it cost or if you can even get it done in the area...

the front section of the frame has alot of damage (which is probably why nothing on the front end sits straight) so it needs to go to a shop to be straightened out so might as well make it look good while its out such as podwer coating then I never have to worry about it rusting back up or what not
take the windshield banner off please.
