A-body help needed for my 65 Barracuda

By the way, the emergency brakes are very ineffective at best, and even less so when the car is moving backwards. It is really a parking brake that will hold the car still, not for stopping the car. My brother was backing our 64 Valiant out of a mildly sloped driveway with nearly non-working brakes to put it on level ground so that I could put new brakes on it when he tried to stop it the same way and ended up slamming into my step dad's brand new Volare (sticker still on the window). I ended up fixing the Volare at the body shop I was working in. The valiant had a slightly misshaped taillight area and all I had to fix on it was the lens.

Gain respect from your agent by letting him know that you were trying to protect him from loss by avoiding $35K cars that would have cost him so much more.
