Hi all,
hope everybody had a nice xmas. Got my 67 LeBaron back from the shop today,
full brake job, to include new master cly, new soft hoses, rear wheel cyl,
brake shoes, disc pads, and rebuilt calipers, all done in dot 5. It's so nice to
have good brakes on a heavy car. they also changed the rear axle seals, and
bearings. A friend of mine owns a repair shop (Chuck's Automotive Center,
Inc, Salem, Or) I provided the parts, minus the axle bearings (it took
a month to track down and gather the brake sys parts alone) he charged me
$600 for the labor , which I feel to be a very reasonable amount for the
work done on an old car. I gave Chuck an honorable mention here because his
shop has worked on my imperials before, and done a good job. And might be
an option for anybody in my area who needs work done on their
imperial. (most shops don't want to mess with cars that old) .
Happy New Year
Mike Becker
