    Welcome from Kansas. It being a 75 it should have disk brakes in the front and drum in the back. It will stop very nicely after you go through the brakes and get them operating correctly.

    And you know what "puckers up" inversely!;)

    Lennox up the street from us. I right by the place twice a day.

    Let's see, Michigan or Kentucky in July. I'll have to see what SWMBO says. We were in Brazil last month and she is out of vacation. Will she let me go by myself? :bowdown::huh:

    Thanks for the welcome.

    I know the "book" says it should have front disk, but it doesn't. I haven't decided what to do with the brakes for now. I just want to get it on the road for now.

    I know you are just wanting to get it on the road for now but you might want to lool at mustangsteves bracket kit. You can run later model brakes, easy to get parts. The only drawback would be that they require larger wheels. Good luck.

    Yep, I'm married to a mean, red headed Brazilian. I wear the pants in the family and can do anything I want to. As long as she gives the OK;)
