Well good news, I called the local alignment and brake shop, te guy that
works there has been doing brakes or 38 years, said they do hot rods and
classics all the time. I described what I had and he tells me they'll be
able to handle it and he has no doubt the man that does the brakes will be
able to do it and have the tools for it...should I pop on these guys and
try them? He said theyll look at it with me first and tell me what they'll
do.

Jacob,
Try calling Craig Stanley of Mobile Parts at516-485-1935begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 516-485-1935 . I'd bet he
can get whatever you need, but I have no clue about shipping. He's
old school and has to go to the library for internet and email and
such, so phone is the best way. Be warned, he can talk.
Are your hubs still good? You can get new repro drums made from
American iron. Hubs are another story. If you need hubs, your best
bet will be to find them already on an old drum, but the drum will
likely be shot and you'll have to have them removed by someone who
understands the swagging process. The guys who do it right have a
special cutting tool. Don't go to the guy who said "you heat it" to
remove them.

I thought about just getting new drum and shoes and finding a brake
shop. As
far as mechanic shops that have been around 30 years in lc, I don't
think
there is any! Today ima call around and see what people offer now that I
have all this info.
Scarebird doesn't seem like its that bad of a kit. 165 plus parts? As
long
as it doesn't require welding, or cutting, I'd be fine lol but for
right now
I think it's be best to find a shop.

you will need help. It may be a bit beyond your abilities at the

Yes you can get the parts from any auto parts store. The kit from
Scarebird
was only $165, then you would also have to get the rotors and calipers
and
pads. This setup uses 1970-72 Ford Galaxie rotors and 1994-99 Dodge Ram
1500 calipers, so you can price it out. And you can't use the single
master
cylinder. The calipers are much larger than the wheel cylinders they
are
replacing, you will have to get one of those too. Not sure what one
they
use for a Scarebird kit, probably a disk/drum 1976 Dart would
work...but you
can ask them via E-Mail. You can probably find a used drum, take the
car to
a repair shop (find one that's been around for 30 year or more) and pay
them
less than 200 to redo front brakes. My rear brakes only cost me 130.00
to
have redone including new studs.
The kit from AAJ brakes cost me about 600-700 for everything, I forget
now.
But I really like it, nice even braking, no pulling.
