Disc Brake Conversion

I am looking to convert my 1964 Olds Ninety Eight to disc brakes. Has anyone already attempted to do this? If so, any thoughts on kits that exist out there? Does Classic Disc Brakes offer a kit? I know Fatman Fabrications offers a drop spindle that will allow you to bolt on late 70s through 80s chevy truck OE brakes. Has anyone used this setup before?

Scarebird makes a rear disc setup to fit the 57-64 Olds/Pontiac rear. They listed one for the 64 Olds front, haven't looked in a while, but I remember it was expensive compared to the ones they had for other carmakers.

5x5 bolt pattern shouldn't be difficult to match up using off the shelf rotors and calipers but you will have to use at least 15" wheels. None of the conversions will work with the stock Ninety Eight 14" wheels.
