The strut rod bushings were worn out on my wife's wagon , and all I wanted to do was replace them and leave the rest for now. But I realized that I had to undo a few things just to change them, so I decided to go for it. As I got into it I found a little problem with the drivers side upper control arm(first pic). Thanks to CbodyBob, I have a nice one on there now. And then that led to the disc brake swap since the drums were REALLY TOUCHY! I decided to go with the Scarebird kit, I liked the fact that I can buy replacement parts anywhere. I didn't like the fact that Scarebird wouldn't let me pick them up!(I live 20 miles from them) When I asked, the guy on the phone, he asked another guy, probably the owner and all I heard was "ABSOLUTELY NOT!" So I had to pay shipping, That kinda irritated me!! I also decided to go with an aftermarket booster/MC/prop valve from CPP. Here's a few pics of it semi put back together.

BTW...Thanks to all you guys that have sold me parts, posted pics and answered my questions! This has been by far the best forum I've been a part of!
 
Rotor hub size is too small for Mopar wheels,only Ford wheels fit the hub.
Don't like using the studs to center the wheel.
This was the only thing stopping from getting the Scarebird stuff.
 
Plus he comes off as an *** if you ask questions, Unless he was just having a bad day.
 
I didn't realize my photos were so dark. here's some better ones. I did find a set of Firm feel tie rod ends and adjusters at the swap meet a few weeks ago too.

I finally got the suspension and disc brake conversion finished. Still have to install the new booster/MC when it gets here. As I put my wheels back on yesterday, I noticed I have 2 different brake drums on the back. Not sure if this is a big deal or not, It doesn't seem to affect anything since I've owned it. I decided to lower the rear 2" to level the car out. Considering going with a tad shorter tire than the 245/45/18 on the front now. The wife said she likes it, doesn't even know I lowered it, LOL.
