Scarebird Brakes

I added the Scarebird disc setup to my '65 Barracuda about five years ago, and it works extremely well. Especially when combined with a hydroboost setup. The car stops very quickly and with predictability.

It's been long enough now that I almost forgot that I did the conversion and now just take them for granted. If I bought another A-body I wouldn't hesitate at all. An excellent bang-for-the-buck upgrade.

As others have said, fifty years on I don't really think it's a great idea trying to piece together old Kelsey-Hayes assemblies anymore. It's quite nice to have all new parts. As for the drilling of rotors, that's super easy. The NAPA near my place has a machine shop so I can just buy new rotors when the time comes and have them drill the SBP stud holes very inexpensively. I find the whole arrangement very convenient.
