Another option I failed to mention earler is AAJ Brakes. He has a kit for around $700 that is complete and I hear it is well engineered. Go to the clubhouse section with resources that Gary maintains.

Folks ... your thoughts please. I am in the "brake phase" of the 
restoration to my '64 Fury ... and I have to decide on whether or not to 
convert to disc (in the front).

Here's my take on the options:

a) Stay with the front drum setup, and after buying drums, bearings, 
shoes, an upgraded (dual) MC, wheel cylinders, H/W, and lines, etc., 
I'll have spent about $700

b) Go with a disc brake conversion kit that bolts to the existing 
spindles (because I've already completely rebuilt the front suspension). 
I am thinking that I can probably pull this off with a Wilwood or P-S-T 
kit for just less than $1,000

Has anyone made this decision, have other thoughts, regrets, advice, 
sources, etc.? I am not arguing the performance advantages of a disc 
setup, but as usual I am not working with an unlimited budget ...

As always, thanks!
