Ok, let's assume that all my documentation is real and that this is a true 1968 Camaro SS convertible w/a 350/295 and Munci 4 speed. This car was not optioned with disk brakes (protecto plate shows that is was not optioned too) so what effect would it have to the value of the car to install them? Should I just leave the car stock or go ahead and install them and save all the old parts?
It looks like the kits bolt right up and do not require any alteration of the existing stock parts so is it cool to do it? I was going to leave the back drum and only do the front.

i would do the swap for driving purposes, depending on if you sell it and to who it may make the value go up or down so i would keep the original parts to change it back or just to include in the sale of the car later down the road.

Go with the discs-it's a cruel world for old cars.Too many guys that think these babys can stop like a brand new Honda.
You did the right thing by keeping the old stuff.
