    I like the look of the no vent window The problem I have is losing the roll down windows. I wish there were a way to replace the wing vent window wqith full gl*** that could still be rolled down. another issue that you run into isyou either leave the inside knob there or have panels remade to make up for the hole there. Has anybody tried replacing the window and getting rid of that bracket? I mean even being able to roll down the window half way is better than not at all. like those 4 door family cars with the safety windows for kids that only roll down half way down.

    Those of you that have lowered your Shoebox and added a disc break setup, did you run into any issues with the angle of the drive shaft or steering knuckle issues in the front? There is a 2" block under my rear end, I ***ume it is a lowering block and not a stock block sitting there. I would like to switch over to disc brakes this winter. I hate the drum brakes on it when someone does something stupid and you have to slam on your brakes to avoid them, my car doesnt like to stay in the lane the best when you have to do that.

    IMG_2539.jpeg I didn’t have any problems, I used the Aerostar springs with the brackets that raise the upper A arms and makes it easier to align and put 4” dropped springs in the rear with extended shackles that gave me a total of 5” drop in the rear. I did the disc brakes with the GM master cylinder (all bolt in) and it looks and drives great.

    Looks great!!! I bet you feel a lot safer now that you switched your brakes over. did it take very long for the changeover?
    I don't know if you can tell its lowered in this video of it or not
