Looking good. Got a spec list on what you have done so far?

 

[bigdan]

bought the car ,drove it as is to evaluate possibilities ,car was better then my previous A body for handling .

sold the 305-4 + turbo 350 ( that paid the whole car)

lifted the body off the frame because two bushings worned out and frame hole was elongated ....decided to repaint frame .

installed some enregy suspension body mount urethane bushings .

I installed a 95 LT1 with ported "374" alum heads ,comp CC503 cam,
1.6 RR, csr electric w/pump ,shorty headers ,

performance rebuilded 700R4 with 9.5" ,3200 stall torq conv.

ford 9" diff (still looking for posi+gears ) +4 link suspension +panhard rod
+ 2" dropped coils from suspension technique + disc brake conversion
tubular front A arms + B body spindles+ 1le 12" rotors.

in my mind: maybe, 6 point or more ,roll cage to stiffen body+ frame ..
american racing torq thrust or coys C5 or cragar steelies wheels

What all did you have to do for you rear disc brake conversion? Was it expensive?

I like the paint and body, very nice.

I sure wish I had the space to do a frame off... My garage is only big enough for Krylon resto's! :lol:
