Nice paint

ANYWAY, which conversion did you use? SN95? or the Lincoln? If you used the Lincoln, you should get the lincoln calipers too, definately a good brake upgrade for almost nothing.

Looks good bro

yea im goin completely www.50resto.com for my conversion because i want mosers' 31spline heavy duty axles, rotors and hubs ill prolly ebay, bearing and seals they make kits for , then proly a autoburn 8.8" differential with 3:73 gears.... im gonna do it that way, so im good on not worrying about snapping a axle anytime soon as long as i dont drive like a idiot dropping the clutch everytime the car leaves the garage

it already stops a lot better with 95 brakes, and i dont feel like converting the back. Also i plan on getting 13in drilled and slotted rotors,Mach 1 calipers,MM SS brake lines and green stuff pads.... After that it will stop on a dime even with drum rears
