i need to change my brakes but i cant find drum brakes for this car. my mechanic friend said he cant find the drums for it anywhere and not only that, he cant even get the drums off and he might have to cut them off and convert it to disc brakes.. because the drums are rusted on there. well money is tight and i just wanted to change the brakes, cuz thats all the car needs. but now hes telling me i have to buy disc brakes ($800) and the labor ($300). does that even sound reasonable? and is this my only option?? not only that, but he said id have to change the lug pattern from 4 to 5 lug pattern. sounds like a lot more money to me. and thennnn i have to buy new rims to go on the 5 lug pattern. i just bought this car and now im broke and its my only transportation. brakes is all that needs fixed on it. all i want to do is drive it and this is turning into a nightmare. so my question is, where can i find some drums, for a 1962 chevy nova, so i can just change the drums on it and drive away? or is there a cheaper route for the disc brake conversion?
