1968 Ply Road Runner
Project BeepBeep

Welcome back to #ProjectBeepBeep. Bill is looking at the brakes and gets some professional assistance to help him make a crucial decision. You know if you’ve got a lot of GO…you need a lot STOP.

It not an easy decision to alter a car’s originality, especially if it’s not 100% required for safety. So, as Bill has, you need to weight the decision carefully and get some expert opinions.

Here is Bill’s latest video.

I recall when I restored my 70 Dodge Dart – back in 1977, I wasn’t sure what those springs were that were wrapped around the drums – most guys didn’t put them back on.

More great information in this video. Thanks for sharing it Bill.

Come up next for Project BeepBeep the conversion process gets started.

Thank for check in @ Average Guy’s Car Restoration, Mods and Racing. You can us on Twitter @AGCarRestore.

These pics show the location and how tight the area is where the power steering hose is located. I have to say, that’s tight but not as bad as some cars. I’m lucky #ProjectSportsRoof had a lot of room.
