just getting starting on my first ever project. i have some basic mechanical skills, basic tools, and a strong desire to learn and do as much as i can myself. but i also work full time and have other non auto projects going on. first and most of all i need brakes. my local shop is suggesting to do the drop with the brakes. I'm looking at the 4/6 from early classics. my shop( who i love and trust) is taxing the kit so they can add their guarantee. should i have them do both and just pay alot? or have them do the brakes and i do the drop? should i do both? any suggestions on prioritizing steps?
