I am considering manual brakes for 72 Chvelle disc is front Wilwood discs in back Wilwood prop valve for rear. Currently not enough vaccum to keep good brake pressure.

What shops have people used with good results in the past? I need to get a manifold leak fixed and the exhaust replaced on the truck. I went and got a quote today from Tims Custom Exhaust. I also wanted to get one from Pat's Mufflers but he was closed today.

If anyone sees the Fall 2012 issue of that Chevelle magazine, could you post here where I can find it? I just got notified that my wagon is in there so I would like to grab a copy or two. Its probably just a rerun of the Car Craft feature, but still pretty cool.

I have several duplicate photos on my computer. Anyone know of a good way to delete duplicate photos in bulk? When I import new photos I try to be careful to only import new ones but I still seem to add old ones and wind up with duplicates.
