brake upgrade?

I bought new wheel cylinders and a new master cylinder and brake lines for my 62 crown from my local NAPA store. They were a special order but only took 2-3 days

to get them. This was the 62 I bought from Kerry Pinkerton a few weeks back,

fortunately he had relined shoes.

I bought three of them last August from my local auto parts store, and they were about $45.00 each.
