Project Dazed and Confused 1971 Chevelle - Budget Rear Disc Brake Conversion

Project Dazed and Confused 1971 Chevelle - Budget Rear Disc Brake Conversion
Time to get back on project Dazed and Confused, that sleek black 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454. This car was once a drag car and turned back to a streetcar. The work was done very well but there is always room for improvement. In previous videos, we put on a pair of Flowmaster FX mufflers and an electric exhaust cutout kit. This car looks like a classic muscle car so it needed to sound like one.
In this video we tackle the rear brakes, they were still the factory drums. We utilized parts from Jegs that included calipers, brackets, new wheel studs, hoses, line, rotors, and the proportioning valve. If we get time, we might even tackle some maintenance items like changing the rear differential fluid and the transmission fluid/filter. This is not a hard task to do, just takes some time, common hand tools, and patience!
Coming up next will be installing the Holley Sniper 2 fuel injection kit. That you do not want to miss!! Stay tuned my rowdy friends!

Nice car, nice job. I would have painted the calipers red though.
