Folks ... your thoughts please.  I am in the "brake phase" of the
restoration to my '64 Fury ... and I have to decide on whether or not to
convert to disc (in the front).

Here's my take on the options:

a) Stay with the front drum setup, and after buying drums, bearings,
shoes, an upgraded (dual) MC, wheel cylinders, H/W, and lines, etc.,
I'll have spent about $700

b) Go with a disc brake conversion kit that bolts to the existing
spindles (because I've already completely rebuilt the front suspension).
 I am thinking that I can probably pull this off with a Wilwood or P-S-T
kit for just less than $1,000

Has anyone made this decision, have other thoughts, regrets, advice,
sources, etc.?  I am not arguing the performance advantages of a disc
setup, but as usual I am not working with an unlimited budget ...

As always, thanks!
