Default Vintage C Body Disc Brake Conversion

Inspired by Ken Tibor's (Kwizz) awesome posts on his restoration projects I thought I would share an unusual one I am working on.

The subject is my 1960 Chrysler 300F pictured here:


I have owned this car since 2000 and have done some upgrades and rebuilds without doing a restoration on the car. What you see is 90% original paint and trim.

My frustration with the car was its inability to stop more than once with its vintage design brakes.They are big but useless in the mountainous region where I live. They were designed for Kansas.



That were badly cracked after only 1000 miles.



So the decision to go with a conversion kit From AAJ brake out of Portland Oregon was made.



The kit is complete with everything needed other than Metal lines to do the conversion.

More in following postings,stay tuned.
