You probably have a froze caliper? Take them apart and find out. Where are you at in Ohio? I am in Columbus, have calipers if you need....

Re: Brakes are.locked up in the front
All it takes is one frozen caliper and the car won't move, some more details would help. Have you jacked the car up? Are both wheels froze? ?????

Re: Brakes are.locked up in the front
I have a master cyl, rotors and calipers and new pads that I recently taken off my 85 Z28. I upgraded to LS1 front brakes. All was working fine, the flex lines are showing their age though.
PM me if interested.
