front end and disc brakes coming

[B Taylor]

Well I ordered the front end rebuild kit and about to order the Pirate Jack disc brake kit too. I plan to rebuild and repaint the entire front end suspension as I go. Also will reinforce the lower control arms.
I will do my best to photo and document the rebuild.

Sounds Good keep us informed. I might try the Pirate Jack approach also. To cold to even go outside here at present.

Here's mine before & after. Went with all Doctor Diff parts. Off the car is so much easier. Every thing is powder coated.

We just did the same with Jason's car. And we agree, so much easier off the car.

We used 1974 Challenger disk brakes, and a v8 centerlink.

Good luck with your build.

Be warned that sometimes urathane strut rod bushings mess with the lower control arm urathane bushings. It's detailed in our build thread and other places on FABO.

What's a Pirate Jack disk brake system?

Haven't heard of that one.

MBM makes the brake kits. And sells them under their in house name Pirate Jack

Those shocks sure would look good on my car. If you don't like them let me know.....

And the best part is they came with the car! Fool went out and bought $600 worth of adjustable shocks (yeah, we have the rears also, lol) for a car with worn out factory suspension, stock 318, and peg leg 7.25 axle. Lol
