Oldz can now stop, now to work on GO. Who wants to help rebuild a 394 Rocket?

Yeah scarebird kit- Most of the parts are off the shelf which is handy when it comes to a '63. Easy bolt on. The brake drums I had on there were $$$(rare)$$$.

I figured it was Scarebird, which is what I'm going to be doing for my Falcon - in my case, occasioning a hub swap. Celebrity calipers and Previa rotors FTW.

For sure....mine came with hubs as well. Great kit for what it is worth. My hub was always messed up since PO put on a non-stock and non-fitting drum which dorked up the hub. I had been fighting the dorked hub spinning/snapping wheel studs for a few years so I was happy to see it go. Rides great, stops amazing and no more hub vibrations.

I'm going with a Jag rear suspension swap, so leaving the front brakes would have left me with four lugs and drorums in front and five lugs with discs capable of stopping a 4000lb+ car in rear. Ummm, no. Not a Thing To Do.
