so i have been looking for front drums for my c body and have been not successful. The car is unsafe to drive and am wondering if it would be better to change the body over to a s-15 or something as everything is about shot. Any ideas? I might be able to non-op it for awhile as it would not be good to have the brakes fail and go through someone...it is all steel. i am in the bay area if some one knows of any drums? Otherwise I may have to wait until I can afford a Turner kit...The front end is past due for a rebuild too.

Better safe than sorry. Those handled poorly enough without having worn parts added to the mix. -

Stan, Bob Peterson live in Castro Valley and his shop FULL of Stude parts is only a couple miles away! Bob posts here as "candbstudebakers". I'd bet several dollars to a donut that he'd have bolt-on V8 brake parts that would VASTLY improve your Champions stopping power.
Changing to another frame or parts thereof - you're asking to open a BIG can of worms![xx(]
