OK- Newb question here. '64 Dart 270, everything stock so far, recently purchased but has been neglected for years.
I need advice on sequence of upgrades. The suspension front and rear is soft and sad, feels like a sailboat gong around corners and hit any bump at highway speed and it's a white knuckle scenario. Drum brakes are decent for now.
I want to upgrade to some 15" rims, disc brakes, and obviously needs suspension work. The intent is to make it a daily driver with slightly more aggressive than stock stance, but nothing close to a hotrod.
My thought is new wheels and tires first, then have suspension fixed/ upgraded with the new wheels on, then disc brake upgrade. Is that the right sequence to avoid double work?
Caveat is that I'm not "doing the work" unfortunately, no space, no tools, no skills. So I'll be paying to have the work done.
Any suggestions or advice? Much appreciated.
