Wilwood Picked Up My Car & Installed My Front Brakes

The guys from Wilwood Brakes asked if they could use my 1967 Pontiac Tempest for a front brake install video featuring their Classic Series disc brakes! What an amazing opportunity to have my car at the Wilwood facility and to get to work alongside this incredible team. The people at the company are ALL true car people and I had so much fun spending the day with these guys and wrenching on the Tempest.

We cant wait to see this ride on the road!! It was a blast working on the Tempest!

Thanks for supporting this up and coming hot rod star. Y'all rock.

It is not a crappy car. It is a perfect canvas for greatness. Make it great.

Nice video Liv, now you need to make friends with Tremec and get a t-56!

[@rdecoster1]

Christmas came early this year!!! The Pontiac has some pretty Nice equipment going on!! Liv is fast becoming a celebrity as we all watch!!

[@C10Scottsdale]

Great video Liz, as usual, you rock kiddo!

[@chukhentcy5642]

Liv, yes the car was ratty then, but y'all are working so hard to make it cool. I saw a video way back when, when you first dragged the Tempest out of the yard where you found it and you've brought the car so far! This is a catch up video for me. I've just watched the video where you got back from Canada and the guys got your interior finished. I'm looking forward to seeing the Ol' Girl roar to Life again. The guys and you have done a ton of Good Work!

[@garywilson12]

love those brakes , really sharp, cant wait for the next visdeo

[@robertedwards4715]

One of my favorite Pontiac's ever made!! LOVE THAT CAR! My mom was a gear head loved fast cars! Owned Chevelle SS, Impala SS, at 14 I bought my first car it was a 70 Pontiac lemans sport 400, loved that car to. 🤳🇺🇸💪

[@nicktheamsoilguy]

Sweet! Can’t wait to see the final results.

Hi Liv. My favorite car when I worked at burger king in high school when I was on foot. When watching and listening you said "crappiest car" just when I was admiring the look at it in that trailer with the Awesome Rear End Differential and Carriage Assembly and this car's personality went from Tempest to Temptress. I'm loving each step of this project Liv, thanks for sharing your Tempest experience. You deserve this Wilwood treatment and so does the Temptress oops, I mean Tempest. I too do my own hands-on maint & modifications on my vehicles and I recently installed a new front suspension and brakes on the front end of my 78 Vette I went with the Willwoods too and It's amazing how well the car's brake performance personality improved so tremendously. They had the perfect kit for my car. Keep up the the good work with informative videos Liv, good things happen to good people too. TO

[@michaelreilly1310esq]

The lines of this car are so fantastic that even in this rough shape it still looks great.John Delorean who designed it was a genius

[@brianmcpeak6135]

AWESOME! Congratulations… i love Wilwood - love what you are doing and the opportunities that are coming your way. Unlike many other companies Wilwood provides great instruction & details. This was another great video for Wilwood and yourself.

[@Carl_Jr]

🏁 I can attest to what Mike said about you and your ability to explain things so the common everyday grease monkey can relate! You've always been extremely helpful to me and done a great job of answering questions. Thank you for that!

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Thank YOU for watching Carl! I appreciate that you always leave comments too. 😊

[@charlestwyman9933]

Way to Go LIV ! Love this Tempest … I actually like this Temp more than a GTO. Looking forward to see this beauty finished. Wilwood … super cool !

[@invisibilianone6288]

Cool😎 Let them know they can come pick up my 1969 GMC K2500 and put rear disc brakes on the rear axle and upgrade the front disc brakes😁😁😁 Yes, it has front disc brakes,,, I put the Dana 44-big spicer hubs, open knuckle out of a 71 Chevy 3/4 ton😎

[@paulpatriot1776]

Wonderful video. I’m waiting for a video on replacing rear axle seals/bearings on that 56 Chevy wagon😉😉😉

[@1gatomon]

Good Job getting free brakes! Just as a note. Doing some diligent searching of used markets and junk yards can reward people with factory disk brakes. Any GM A body with Disk brakes is a nice and reasonable swap to earlier and non equipped drum brake cars..

[@vandettabuilds6641]

Great video! Thank you

[@finlay230]

The tempest is sooooo friggin cool 👌🔥

[@gilbertwashburn7095]

Great video that's going to be really cool car I know from my experience back in the day brakes are very important I can always make it go fast I want to stop have a great day you videos keep me inspired my friend Marge is building a 58 Plymouth custom Suburban two-door station wagon it's cool

Very cool! Will be nice to see how this Pontiac turns out. I am really enjoying this series. What size hard lines will you be using?

[@keithphillips6111]

Good job Liv. I think your car is coming along well and can't wait to see what you do with it. I'll bet other companies like Holley would get involved with you too so reach out if you haven't already. Good luck with your little hot rod!!!!

[@festerhairball6588]

Can't wait to get your feedback on the "pedal effort" on these. I went with a lesser brand & it requires a BUNCH of brake effort. ( single piston calipers) Which doesn't give you any confidence in traffic. I've driven plenty of 4 wheel manual drums & was hoping for the same feel w/ better stopping power. Keep us posted, love the footage

[@dclipper8052]

You just need to swap in a master with a larger bore.

[@festerhairball6588]

@@dclipper8052 I bet that would work, I went with the recommended size , which was 1" if I remember correctly.Thanks for the advice 🙂👍

[@dclipper8052]

@@festerhairball6588 I swapped my '66 GTO to manual disc/drum but it's been so long that I don't remember the specifics so I avoided getting into details. However, I think I might recall that I used a 1 1/8" master. Whatever I decided, it was based on guidance I gleaned from online forums and I was very pleasantly surprised by how good the brakes felt and how much less the required effort was than what I was fearing it would be.

[@festerhairball6588]

[@francisjaniewski5990]

I'm sure they would do this on my 67 caprice in Indiana. After I installed like a thousand Wilwood calipers on military Humvees!!!

[@danielsullivan9865]

Lucky I wish they would do mine

[@xozindustries7451]

We just finished the pro kit on my 17 year old sons 71 Monte Carlo with the billet hub to fit inside of the 15” rims, we used the ones with the environmental seals. I don’t know how impressed I am with the kit, the size of the caliper and pads doesn’t seem big enough for a car of that weight street driven, but we will see how it goes next week after it gets aligned

[@Hanzyscure]

She put new rear disc brakes on . I think the front disc will be adequate.

Liv which master cylinder kit did you install? Are the stock booster and proportioning valve discarded when swapping to a Wilwood M/C?

[@joecameron3406]

Less weight and better braking is a no brainer. If you go faster you gotta stop faster

[@joesilva8595]

you are so lucky

[@anthonyrippo1223]

I have a numbers matching 69 Olds 442 Convertible with power drum brakes. My whole time owning this car since 1978 I wanted to keep it all original. Afteer going thru a puddle and losing my brakes i said for safety sake I have to go disc brakes. Put a Wilwood kit on my car and will never go back. I saved my old parts but they will never go back as long as I own it.
