couple of cars but they were bothh 1966 vintage. your '63 does not have diagonal brakes, so you will need to run some more brake lines. I used the smaller 5/8 inch diameter rear wheel cylinders, removed the pressure valves under the back seat and it worked perfectly. To change the axles and inner drivers will require inner drivers from a smooth case transmission, or possibly changing the differential case in you transmission. Axles, hubs etc. is just a bolt on deal. the sonnet master cylinder is probably a P.O.S. at this point, so you may want to consider retrofitting something much newer. One of the cars I modified used a 3/4" ate master cylinder from a vw. I had to fabricate an adapter plate to mount it and lengthen the push rod on the pedal. The reason I used that master cylinder was that it cost $42 brand new in the box and my parts guy said it was one of the more common vw master cylinders. just take your time, think it all out and save all of the original parts so robby can restore you priceless car someday.
