I can't believe you found another Vitamin C vert. I bet only about 50 in Vitamin C that year.

Whats worse is, it took me 2 years to get mine in that shape

Good luck with er

Okay, today is Mopar Thursday. My only day off this week.

I mowed the lawn for the first time this year, after work yesterday. So I'm mo-parring today.

Got the rear brakes on.

I ordered the spindle sleeve from DR Diff to do the front brakes since they are discs.

Waiting on that to arrive to finish the fronts. Then bleed the system and be done.

LOL, I know. If I knew vitamin C, 4 spd road runner verts were so easy to come by I would have restored a Chevelle!

Got the front brakes done this morning.

I used the spindle sleeve that DR Diff sells to go to a one piece rotor.

The only surprise was that the rotors wouldn't fit over the lip on my dust shields.

I was lucky and had another set that didn't have the amount of raised lip. So it seemed to work out well.

Was it originally a disc brake car? Mine was drum/drum and I converted to disc/disc

My fender tag has B51 for power brakes. I would think it would also have a B41 if it was a factory disc brake car?

At any rate, it had front discs when I got it. The last inspection on the car is 1985. So if it was converted, it was done before 85 when 1970 stuff was available.

The rotor that was on there was a two piece hub and rotor.
