finally got some real brakes on my garage build, z06 rotors and base model front calipers on all fours, 14" front, 13.5" in the rear, and i even made the vette parking brake work. bought all the parking brake parts off gmpartsdirect.com. My drop spindles had crappy g-body brakes, i found a company called flynbye performance that made hubs that allow a vette rotor, and i drilled the spindles for the caliper brackets and cut a spacer for proper fitment. cant wait to stand on them and see how much better they are over 10.5" discs and drums!

Hi all,
With you since 2009...
Here is my 69 Bird, I have time now to take care of her.
Starting the project in my garage & will try to do all I can in.
Will be a limited budget build & drivable every weekends.
