65/66 spindles are a bolt on operation. The calipers are what Shelby used on the GT 350s and you will need the proportioning valve and master cylinder. You will also need 15" wheels. Not sure I would convert to disc as the huge drums work well unless you are going to be doing some hi performance driving.

i am not sure about "high performance" driving but the drums still just not quite what i am after when it comes to stoping they not quite what i like kinda mushy and gotta put alot of pressure on them while at stop lights and such :-) i am trying to get it as safe and modern as i can without chainging the over all asthetics of this beautifully designed car. but thanks for the input :-)
