Hey, all, I've gotten a few likes on this thread in the past few days but I figured the thread was dead. After a year 6k people have viewed it! That is great! I have an update however! With all of my weekend cruising, I still love the wheels, but the front drums have proved a little unreliable in a swarm of modern cars. So, I'm giving up my red drum for a red caliper to match my back drums and put on 78 Cordoba 11.75 discs up front. You can still see the red caliper a bit so again safety over seeing the full drum. I'm still keeping it all stock/Mopar with OEM/remanufactured/repro parts based on the DISC-O-TECH article.

There is a post here where I asked people's opinion about using 11 or 11.75 discs and my current progress. As of today, everything is done except for the driver side of the car:
Disc Brake Swap Rotor 11 or 11.75?

I like that look. Looks stock but you have to really double take to notice it.

Hope to see it at Spring Fling this year.

On the rallies you barely notice the drum.

I've gone twice a year since 2018 when work relocated me from Virginia. I took my 68 (in the pictures in this thread) in Spring 2019 and a kid and his family leaned up against it to take a picture and put a four inch scratch on the right fender. Been a little gun shy every since but I've gone to every one since just without the 70. Maybe in the Spring I'll bring it. Thanks!

That's really unfortunate.

We usually have a pretty good considerate audience. The parking situation keeps the common fair weather passer-bys away.

Agreed. It was a family just walking through. Oh well, I sold the car in 2019 and eventually got my 70.
