Scarebird front disc set up good-bad?

RedFish said

It just a matter of time before a new owner comes here asking "What brakes do I have? What parts do I search for?". Then they learn Chevy or Toyota or other depending on what generation of Scarebird brakes it is. I imagine his reply... A mind blown emoji. LOL
We screw these old girls around all sorts of ways without ever considering the next owner. Scarebird is just one more example.
The only correct disc brakes were also aftermarket i.e. Kelsey-Hayes. The difference is their appearing in factory service manuals, parts listings, etc...
I can't make my comment read as a positive or negative. Observations at best. Good luck

I don’t build my cars for the next owner, I build them to enjoy myself. If and when I sell any of my cars, they will come with the list of modifications I’ve made and parts they use, because I have those lists so I can replace all the wearable parts that aren’t stock. Hell for most of my cars I’ll give the new owner a usb drive with all the pictures of the modifications and a link to my build threads. Problem solved.

It’s pretty much a given that any 40+ year old car will have some non-stock parts or modifications. Some may be high quality upgrades, some may be shade tree BS. Which is exactly why you don’t just assume that everything is stock, you look at part numbers or take the old part with you when you buy the replacement so you can see if it’s the same.

And if the new owner can’t figure that out, they can buy new brakes just like I did and convert it back or upgrade it again to whatever they want.
