Welcome! I think you should upgrade your brakes first if you drive it much. On todays roads you don't have a chance at matching the braking power of newer and lighter cars. Safety first!

When I get the paint and body done I will be saving up for 4 wheel disc brakes. Also I will try and post some pictures later.

I've never tried to post a pic, I guess I could try. My car is NOT pretty, it's rusty, and needs work, It got burned/hot in the fires of 98' alot of the clears coming off, it has holes in the roof and lower quarters,nothing special, Steve
