Default Classic Car Brake Work

Looking for an experienced, old school mechanic with knowledge of brake master cyclinders, front conversion kits.

Familiar with Sumter Tire & Auto.

Not a fan of Wildwood Tire.

Not looking for a shop which only does disc & pad jobs.

OK, I'll bite, what make/model car? I have rebuilt 8 Mustangs from the ground up over the years, all included brake work, and the last one a conversion from front disk/read drum to 4 wheel disk. I may be able to at least advise you on your project.

Chuck at Pal's Auto in Ocala. Chuck lives in the Historic District.

The guys at Pal's are the real McCoy. They do some very cool work, they're reasonable and they know what they're doing.

I would like to talk to you about a 4 wheel disc conversion if you have any time. I have a 1964.5 mustang coming tomorrow and of course the first mustangs had drums all around.
