I said that already on page 1, I owned the same car that he louie took the brakes off of. :D I remember talking to him about it when he was installing them. I had a 1989 Toyota Corolla GTS coupe. These are not very popular so you should be able to find them in the junk yards still. The engines are about the only thing that everyone takes.
P.S.
He made the caliper mounting brackets himself in his shop.

I initially put them on as a joke, but even the judges at the shows were fooled.

(not flaming your car or you, just the judges for not recognizing the fact there's no caliper on that "brake disc")
