The Right Stuff are good kits.

Looks great Matt! Another upgrade I've been considering, and now that you have pioneered ahead...I may just invest in some rear disc brakes, I think I'll go for the extra "red" horsepower! 🤪

[@Exit45Restorations]

Lol.. we will have to race and see if it works..

Hello Matt. Nice looking brakes. You'll be able to do"Bat turns" when you get her going. Those axle shafts looked dry, you did put gear oil in, right? I remember you saying that you did. My wife didn't get the red vs black caliper reference. Lol

Hello George. You're right the axles were dry so I will be checking the oil level on it. Well I guess not veryone knows you get more horsepower from red calipers.. lol

Hello sir, I have a '65 Tbird and I was wondering if the stock rims will clear the calipers in the back. are the new break pads a special size or how do you get a replacement pad?

[@Exit45Restorations]

The stock rims will not clear the calipers. It looks like you would need a 15 rim minimum. The pad replacement is from stock pads for several GM cars. So they should be readily available.
