Well,the brake transformation on the rear is complete.I must say it was really simple to do with minimal mod's.The piece that connects the two cables together unneath the body has to be lengthened by about 2 inch's(hence pic)

On the Gp, with light pedal application at low speeds, the brake pedal would drop to the floor, a quick pump and it would be back. Even with the drop, I'd still have some braking power.

On my 67', at the rear lower control arm mounts, there is a brace of some sort on either side. They face forward parallel with the frame rails and contact the floor with some kind of pad. I've never seen anything like them. Are they a 4 door hardtop only thing?
