no dont really plan on that, really just crusing around no track time, pizza and icecream shop and back..

 

then use new parts.....brand name!!!

 

yeah brand name parts cost lots of money.. and i dont have that..lol

 

Not all brand name parts are expensive, but some brands are always too expensive. Get good parts from a reputable place, and don't use used parts for some things. There are things like engine internals that I wont buy used. Likewise for suspension parts, but a used rear axle is fine by me.
I'm the king of tightwads, but I don't scrimp on things that will leave me stranded, or in the hospital.

 

oh no im with you on somethings, i was just wondering about things like the brakes and steering stuff, im not going to but all that poly stuff, i see it this way it has lasted this long it will last me as long i will be driving the car...thanks all.
call me crazy but i really want to put a 77 frontend on my 78. Im thinke all i have to do is switch the whole front clip right??

 

Has they lasted this long? I think most people who looked closely at their suspension components would find they're in sad shape if they haven't been previously replaced. Suspension bushings and joints have to get pretty bad before people notice. My A arm bushings were nearly gone, and my car still handled and drove fine. I was shocked they were that bad and not feel it in the wheel.
As for brakes; I'd be fine with used discs or drums, but not used shoes or pads. They're too cheap new, so no reason to buy used.

 

no i ment i was going to use new stock bushings ant keep what i have, mine are in real sad shape. i was saying the stock stuff last a long time so i will replace them with stock not the poly, sorry for the mess up

 

Nothing wrong with stock rubber bushings.
