I will most likely try and do this in phases, but I also realize that these upgrades are all intertwined.
I was thinking about trying to upgrade the front suspension, front brakes and steering first. but if I do that, I should upgrade to discs on the rear at that time because of the master cylinder and p-valve.
So if I go with discs on the rear it would be smart to upgrade to the 9" or 12 bolt at that time. But if I have a rear built probably should get it tubbed so I can have the rear narrowed before I install it. Don't want to upgrade the rear end until I know what rear suspension to go with. Then, it would be stupid to install a new rear with gears for an overdrive and still run the 4 speed. That means I probably should upgrade tranny at the same time.
Jeez, maybe I should just save my money for a little longer and do it all at the same time.  |
That's pretty much exactly the train of thought that got me where I am today! I will say, it was WORTH IT! Do it once, do it right. With that said, you can do it on a budget...of sorts. Talk to Frank at Prodigy, and/or Jeff at Keisler, they'll steer you right with the suspension, tranny, rear-end and brakes. You can do all that for around $10-12K with some top shelf parts, if you don't go hog wild with air bags and subframes.
PS, you're car looks amazing...you have alot to be proud of if that was done 25 years ago....wow....I can only hope mine lasts that long. I'd pull that cover off any chance I got!
