any help guys? :) I'm really on a tight budget here and I want to only get whats necessary....

So I spoke with Laura from Springs and things (thanks 69hemibeep). Do I need all of this or can I replace some for now? I really can't spend $850 for the whole lot. Here is what she quoted me at for the Front: The front end kit includes the outer tie rod ends, upper & lower ball joints, upper &...

I just haven't poked any more holes...I have yet to remove the seats fully but I can tell the floor is super thin in some places.

Thanks guys. I just peaked in the back and realized the rear pans where the fear of backseat passengers go are also a bit rusty. I poked a hole out but I think it's not too bad. Under the seats seem fine. My question: should I patch the front pans and rear 1 pan separately or just put in a whole...

How about a kit you could recommend that has everything and is not too expensive? I prefer to buy the whole lot and tackle both front and rear at the same time?

While I rebuild my drum brakes in the rear, I know that I need to replace everything else....Can someone recommend an inexpensive but quality kit? I saw the classic industries has a front end kit but I need the rear? Not looking to spend a lot but is Polyurethane the way to go? Thanks!

I'm in the same boat Rocket, but I'll only be converting the front to disc...I've talked to Dr. Diff and he was knowledgable and seemed to have quality stuff. I've seen his name in some threads and the price is right but I'm curious what everyone here thinks? http://www.doctordiff.com Not...

I know I'll have to sand to see how bad the rust is, but judging from the pictures, do you think I can get away with just buying the Front L and R pans. Was thinking about these Classic 2 current floor pans: http://www.andysautosport.com/products/classic_2_current__165-440-1.html

This is what I'm working with...Do I need to replace those thin side rail pieces too? What are they called?

Thanks quikbird...I'll be switching to Disc up front but I can't afford the back right now and just want to make this baby a tad safer to drive until I upgrade the front to Disc :) Anybody on here done what I plan on doing i.e. rebuild drum with new parts and rebuild everything else minor while...

Thanks 69hemibeep but I'm starting with the rear first. Any help there?

Hello Roadrunner geniuses... I'm going to rebuild the rear drums first but since I'm doing that, I know I need to replace a ton more and I want to do it while I have the breaks off: Recommended rebuild kit for drums? Recommended control arms, do I need them even (are MOPAR okay)...

Great tips guys, much appreciated! Can't wait to get started...now where to find the time!!?? Anybody know how to freeze time so I can hang with the bird for say...3 solid days??

This one or can someone recommend something that worked well for them?
