Re: Looking for drum brake upgrade parts

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got a 65 Ambassador.
 Unfortunatly while the front drums are 10" they don't match!
One is a ribbed replacement drum the other a smooth original.
 Both are rusty and need turned. I haven't even begun to look at getting things started and won't be for a while yet. Right now I'm trying to work on some house related stuff and have placed the whole project for sale. No takers yet.
