So Many Rabbit Holes...

I'm typically in the "buy once, cry once" mentality and as others have mentioned, anything pre 90 is getting to be slim pickings in the junk yard.

So the plan for wheels & tires goes like this:

4) cragar 342 d window 17" wheels - $500
2) 274/40r17 tires - $300
2) front tires, size undetermined - $300
1) DrDiff BBP axle kit - $300
1) DrDiff rear disk brake kit - $750
2) DrDiff 73up spindles - $155
1) Dr. Diff stage 3 front brake kit - $900
1) Hotchkiss TVS - $2400

So far we're at $5600 and this doesn't include the incidentals I'm invariably forgetting. I'm also up on the air about whether to go with the brembo style brakes or the cobra.

So my rabbit hole is more like 2/3 of my rough guesstimate, but it still puts off a simple tire and wheel change for quite a while. And to be fair, this is a total braking and suspension upgrade and when it's done, I'm done. At least with that phase, lol.
