I would like to convert to disk brakes on my 63 nova. Can anyone suggest anything? This is for a daily driver. Any donor vehicles that I can use? Thanks in advance!!!

here s what I'm using, 5 ug spindles modded, 5lug lower controll arms, stock single piston calipers, stock single piston calipers, and 67 two peice rotors. The two and one peice rotors are the same "sizes", just one is two and one is one. I have only mocked up this setup on the 62. Everything clears and workes just fine.
Here are some links

I will be finishing up my swap in the next week or two. Hope this helps
