olds guys question

Anybody know if any other companys have a disc brake kit for the 55 olds besides the guy on ebay. I know the disc brakes wont be traditional but I dont care I want to be able to stop worth a ****. Also anyone ran dual exhaust with the power steering and the idler arm being in the way and all. Show me you olds pics too let me see what you got.

 

here's mine

 

Figured I'd put up too heres my bucket.

Heres mine, '54 Starfire 98 convert. Its a bit of a "project"

 

ECI should have a kit to adapt 'modern' GM disc brakes to your Olds. They run a two page ad in almost every issue of STREET RODDER and ROD & CUSTOM.

They offer both a complete kit, or just the brackets and adapters plus a parts list of OEM applications you need to buy, pads, calipers, rotors, etc.

 

Send **** at DC Enterprises an email. If he doesn't presently make it, I'm sure he can or knows someone who does. He's a super nice guy.

Or call up Fat Man Fab, they have some guy that they refer too that has a disc brake setup. I lost the number.

 

My daily.

 

Crush, great looking ride. What size rims are you running?

 

my car came with duels from the factory.soo did my parts car.soo yes its possible.they just used a different pipe.54-55 used a different steering box,but ive seen lots of duel setups.notice the duel exhast bumper in the pic.

 

Room is supper tight under my 55. I need to look at some ones 56 and see the difference. I dont think 55 had any factory dual exhaust as far as I have seen.

 

here is mine

 

and one of the engine

 

and this is 14 year old Coery Jeffery doing a cl***ic Fink on my drunk....this kid is AWESOME!!!

 

the finished Fink...

 

Im pretty sure SSBC do a kit. They machine the spindles and from what I remember its a whole stack of cash.

Probably gonna get my *** kicked on this one, but I built a clip based around mustang for mine, 2" oversize, fatman do a frame stub but its like $700, then you need arms, spindles etc.
Mine, as found in north texas a few years ago, its a 98 holiday.

Anyone know where I can get a hood & bumpers ? some goon whacked the front one during shipping..

 

really nice 57!!!one of my favorite cars..the studabaker caps with bulletts look the balls....heres another pic of my 58 in a diff color
