1970 CHARGER - BIG BRAKES

This charger is typical of many Mopars. Big horsepower, no brakes, and nobody makes "reasonable" big disk kits for them. So we set out to help a few friends. This car has a 500+ cu. in. Wedge with 720 H.P., and had stock manual brakes. We started with some Wilwood parts, and made our own mounts, and hub flanges. Next comes a Hydro Boost.
