Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!

ive been very unhappy with all the cpp brake parts i used originally. now they are all gone. With the explorer brakes on the moser 9" and just installed drop spindles with wilwood brakes on the front. Also replaced the leaking master cylinder and prop valve with wilwood parts.

I'm with you on making the switch to Wilwood. The ole Parkwood's never gonna be the same - thank God!

These replacement pans look great. You did a good job. Are they lap welded or butt welded in?

Hey, do you guys have any idea of the damage that could occur to you and your daughter if your car got T-boned, etc. and you are not properly restrained. Your daughter at least should be in a proper age-appropriate child harness and your wife and you should have three point belts fitted and worn. You might be the safest driver in the world (but I bet you're not!) but that won't protect you if some idiot runs a red light or veers onto the wrong side of the road at the wrong time.

It's a fact: seat belts save lives. Please consider your children.

Regards from Down Under.
