Other than White Post Restorations is there anybody else than can rebuild the brake wheels cylinders and reline the brake shoes on my 37?

If you want new
I don't see a reason to spend that kind of money on new when I can get my parts rebuilt

so have you considered doing it? It's really not that difficult, besides you can make a mess honing it!

Depending on where you live there should be a brake reliner company in one of the larger citys near you. I would call them and see if they willreline your shoes, give them the width and length of the existing linings and see what they say 
As far as the cylinders I would take one of them apart and see what size the inner rubber seals and pistons are and what condition the pistons and cylinders are in and go from there. I have had to have some of the hard to find 1966 to 1969 B body Kelsey Hayes 4 piston Mopar style calipers honed out and had a stainless steel sleeve installed in them to make them usuable, not cheap but it kept the car stock appearing and driveable

Pistons are froze, might have to buy new ones, look pretty bad

Did you see the photo of the '36 in the gallery here?

Too bad he retired. Perusing the web site shows he was very knowledgeable about brake cylinders. Fortunately I got all 5 of my cylinders brass sleeved by him a couple of years ago. See the FAQs about stuck cylinders.
He also discusses tube seats under FAQs, which applies to the muscle car years.

Check these Guys. I used them to rebuild a master cylinder and they are really good to work with.
