Scarebird makes the adapters for the drum spindles & you just use readily available front disc parts

That seems very affordable (CHEAP), I just sent him a message. I wonder if he has that set up for a 70 Challenger?  I have the small power drum brakes. I'd like to have discs in front.......

Scarebird is the way to go for cheap. I have 3-4 years on my setup without a problem and I only have about $220 in the whole setup

Can business be done with Scarebird outside ebay?
Is he a member on this site?

you also can use the front brake set up and spindles from a M-body fifth ave or grand fury, Has to be plenty of these cars in the bone yards, Even If you by a conversion kit this is the style you will get .
