                          looks so good! Im hoping you replaced all the parkbrake stuff while you were in there.

                            Some butt nugget before me tore absolutely all of it out so I have nothing. I am trying to think of a way to link my handbrake up to a cylinder to have a hydraulic parking brake.

                              It wouldn't be too difficult to put a hydraulic parking brake in.  Wilwood makes a hydraulic hand brake kit that splices into your rear line so the brakes work normally until you pull the handbrake and it locks on the disc.

                                Problem is, pressure will bleed off.

                                    I always put the car in gear and never had an issue with it moving. That's not goo on the trans though. We all have to remember though, I can air out and use my frame rails as my brake=)

                                      I haven't had a parking brake since I bought my car and have only put it in gear without issue.  Fixing my parking brake is on my to-do list somewhere...

                                        I asked him if he looses pressure when he parks. He says he does not.
