Crazy you were using the drums. Discs will be a huge upgrade for you! Just a note for anyone else watching this, it is a lot easier to install the spindle then put the rotor on, then the caliper. Harder to film, but a lot easier to do haha. Also might want to look at a pickle fork for removing the balljoints/tie rods. I feel your pain, when I did this the first time I put the spindles on the wrong side and had to completely swap everything. Also if you want an upgrade down the road, you can switch to the big 11.75 rotors with just the new caliper sliders and the rotors.
Heck yeah dude! Awesome video! I love the fact you walk through everything, I guarantee this video will help all the B body guys! I wish there was something out there like this for back when I was doing my disc brakes
Bud, being the owner of a 68 charger, I will offer some advice. BALLJOINTS!!! The right tools!!!! I know we are not sitting money, but it will save you from a lot of headaches.. your next investment should be SHOCKS AND BALLJOINTS! Good luck!!
Do away with drum brake Master Cylinder. When I did my disc brake conversion I replaced Master Cylinder and Proportion valve keeps brakes from locking up another thing you need Power Brake Booster.
Seeing this made me thinking about doing videos on my car!!
Thank you for the inspiration man, keep it up❤️❤️

I did use a pickle fork I just used it off camera lol. Still was a huge pain but worked a lot better
