      I hate drum brakes. Pain the ass to work on. I changed my 68 Camaro to four-wheel disc brakes before there were kits available. Had to use a Corvette adjustable brake proportioning valve to make it work.

    Very nice Chevelle, except for the wheel choice. I like the look of the wheels, just think they're too big. Don't like anything over 18" on the older rides and a little more sidewall on the tires. I'm old school.
