I'm looking for last minute feedback before making a purchase. Looking at the disc brake conversion package from Matt's Classic Bowties at http://www.mattsclassicbowties.com/index1.html
I have 66 Chev SS with manual drums right now. Anyone know of any problems with this system? I have 15x7 Cragar SS wheels so I don't think that poses any problems. This package looks like a bolt on, and it's pretty dang cheap. I'll get the braided brake hoses for another $60 bones but no biggie there. A whole package, ready to bolt on, for around $750.00? Am I missing something in the small print or should I just hit the 'submit' button for the purchase?? Thank you all.

Thanks Don. I checked it out and will put it on my 'comparison chart'. I've been doing further reading on the conversion threads and it's amazing to me how many different options there are out there. The good news is that I havn't yet read anything stating a particular kit was horrible and made someone drive through a wall! That's at least reassuring.
