COMET CENTRAL

Thanks for all the info guys! I’m going to order new hubs and machine them down to my rotors, I’ll order the longer studs and I should be in good shape. I’ll make a thread on here and document the process.

Thanks for the info comethead. I thought something looked different about those lugs and I’m glad I didn’t get hammer happy. I’m thinking about ordering the hubs off NPD and then machining those down to my rotors because they are way cheaper than the scarebird hubs. They want $300 for the hubs but I...

Yes I am going with disc brakes and I’m using the scarebird brackets so I need to remove the hub to machine it down to fit my rotors. I’ve been soaking it and I’ll end up using a hydraulic press if it gets to that point.

Hey guys I’m trying to remove the hub from my front brake drum. It looks to be rusted on pretty good and I don’t want to break anything. Do I press out the lugs first and then press out the hub? Does anyone know a trick to doing this without a hydraulic press? I’ve been wanting to buy a press for th...

Thanks for the leads on the disc brake conversion. I decided to order the scarebird brackets and use my stock wheels. I will make a post in the drivetrain section when I get all the parts needed to do the job and begin the process. Looking forward to working on the car! https://i.postimg.cc/svx7Gfr1...

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a front disc brake conversion? Since we will have the kids in the car, I would like to have good brakes!

Yes it is very clean, there are a couple chips in the paint and a little bubbling on the front quarter panel.

I had a question about the trim levels. What were the differences in the 202 and 404? I understand the caliente and cyclone trim but I wanted to know if this is a true 404?

I’m in St. Clair county about 15 minutes East of St.Louis.
