Re: [Chrysler300] 300 H Restoration Help

Michael,
    I found Sihilling Metal Polishing in Santa Ana, California to be 
excellent in terms of quality of work, quick turn around time and reasonable 
in price. They also work on bright-dipped anodized aluminum trim pieces. 
Charles Sihilling is the contact person.  The number for them is 
714-543-7051. AAJ Brake in Portland has disc brake conversion kits for front 
and rear '55-'64 MOPARS with tapered rear axles. Ask for Roger.  Their 
number is 503-890-1469.  You can purchase separate kits for front and rear. 
I suggest you go for all four corners for the disc brake conversion.  There 
is a proportioning valve mismatch when you just do the front with 
significant amount of pedal travel prior to braking which does not inspire 
confidence.  This was the situation in the C.  With the 4 wheel discs, there 
is very little peddle travel and the car stops like a modern car.  Expect to 
pay for both deluxe kits from AAJ about $1400 plus shipping.  The only thing 
not included in the kits is the brake lines for obvious reasons which have 
to be shaped by a brake shop/mechanic which can be done quite inexpensively 
and with ease. Both aforementioned firms accept major credit cards. I can't 
offer any assistance with your other queries.  Good luck with your 
restoration & I hope to see you & the H at future meets!  300'ly,  ROB KERN
