I do wish I'd had the front disc brakes that this '68 has but the drums worked ok for one or two hard stops in a row. Fortunately I never had to make three in a row! This one looks like a nice driver that is ready to be enjoyed. Paint shows well and the bubbles are very minor. Mine was stock but dual exhaust and Edelbrock carburetor.
