And by the time you do all that you could have bought the kit with all the parts included and been done! For just about the same price with all new parts, new rotors and simply put correct fit first time no muss no fuss! Done it on my 65 formula s and love every time I hit the brakes! Dual master cylinder now and 14 inch wheels front and back! Simple and safe! Dont mess with what makes the car stop and be safe on the road!!!

I'm not to happy with the kit's(wildwoods, can't say about the others). we got a wildwood complete kit for a 65 plymouth B body. all was great when it was new. but my friend does happen to like driving his cars. so 10k later he's got to replace the pads and rotors???
He calls and finds out that it's almost as expensive to replace the rotors an pads as it is to change over to a scarebird setup. 2 guesses what he did. now after 28k on the scarebird conversion he's going to change the rotors,pads and calipers for about 125.00. (smaller rotors and calipers but it stops just as good)I did tell you he likes to drive the car didn't I? he's went on the last 3 power tours and just plian likes driving that big B body.

I went the scarebird way on my dart but haven't got it on the road yet and it'll be a driver too!
