John:
Curious on why you decided to go the way you went?
Just wondering, if you are getting the rolling chassis and the body, everything else can be gotten from other sources.

Anyway back to your question.
I went with the Granada 11" front disc and Explorer 11" rears from A & C.
I have never tracked my car and I have no intentions to do so.
I started out with power brakes and cable operated clutch.
After 3 years got rid of the cable operated clutch and power brakes and went with a brake pedal set up from Pete and manual brakes.
Best upgrade I ever made. Pete's setup was so easy to put in, it even covered the hole I made in my footbox area.
It was a bit of getting use to manual vs power but it is great now.
Do you really think stainless brake lines are needed? Costly and much harder to do. Mine look like the day I picked up the rolling chassis from Pete.

Anyway, good luck and keep asking questions.

What gel coat color are you going with?
What motor?
What Tranny?

Don't forget, there is not much room in the footbox, if you got real wide feet you may want to think about (sorry for this in advance) Automatic tranny. It get's real tough getting gas, clutch and brake pedals and wide feet in that footbox. Have you sat in anybody's car to check out pedal locations?

Anyway we are here for you! Ask away!

Jim
