  1. Welcome back, Happy New Year to you too. Good to hear from you. You have to host the pictures on a different sit like Flickr, then copy & paste them here. That is what I do.
  2. Today I topped off the master cylinder with brake fluid & did a few more pumps of the brake pedal & the connection still looks dry. Next up bleed the brakes.
  3. Friday the temp outside was around 60° so I was out in the garage for a little while. I removed the hard brake line from the soft line going to the caliper & found what seemed to me like a little burr on the flare. I used some fine sandpaper on the burr until it felt smooth, installed the 3/16th" copper flare I bought, reinstalled the hard line & tightened the line up. pumped the brakes & so far it looks good. I will try it again today & report back.
  4. When I was rebuilding the steering in my 69 Coupe I went to manual steering, I also replaced the stock idler arm with a roller idler arm from Opentracker Racing making a big difference in the steering. I can now steer it with one hand.
  5. I ordered some of the copper flare gaskets for a 3/16th" line. When I receive them & the weather warms up, I will install one & see if it stops the leak.
  6. No, they are not supposed to be. When I ordered them, I ordered the standard lines. All the other connections are fine. How can I tell if they are in fact standard or stainless steel?
  7. Vic, it is leaking where the hardline screws into the flex line going to the brake caliper. 100_2398 by Michael Grentus, on Flickr
  8. Today I removed the r/s front fender & removed the headlight bucket so I could finish stripping off the old paint. Messed with the brake line again & it is still leaking. I do not know what else to do. Any suggestions? The brake lines are all new stock replacement lines, & new hoses the run from the hard line to the caliper.
  9. I got the front valance & the stone guard completely stripped of paint & about 1/2 of the r/s headlight bucket/fender extension. 100_2397 by Michael Grentus, on Flickr 100_2396 by Michael Grentus, on Flickr
  10. Merry Christmas to everyone here.
  11. If you check out Vics 1970 Vert build on page 38 of his build scroll down & there is a pic of the dash with the painted silver dash panels. 1970 Convertible Restoration - Page 38 - Project Progress Forum - 69stang.com and 1969stang.com The 1969 and 1970 Mustang Supersite I have a deluxe interior r/s dash panel with the round clock that I stripped off the wood grain applique & painted it satin black to match the gauge cluster. 100_1306 by Michael Grentus, on Flickr
  12. Vic, I am waiting until after Christmas to get a new battery.
  13. Vic, yours & Ricks Mustangs look awesome, thanks for the pics. BTW I finished stripping off the surface rust from the underside of the gravel guard & started on the topside.
  14. Today I spent some time in the garage working on the Mustang. I finished stripping off the old paint & surface rust from the front valance & removed the gravel guard to start removing the old paint. I finished installing the Koni STR.T front shocks. When we moved from NJ to Virginia I must have lost the lower shock mount hardware. I tried at several places to find nuts for the shocks with no luck so I sent an e mail to Koni asking them if I could buy a package of the lower mounting hardware. The person who responded to my e mail asked for my address that they would mail me out a pack of the lower mounting hardware. I got it 3 days later, awesome customer service.
  15. I have Hedman shorty headers on my 302. 100_1555 by Michael Grentus, on Flickr
  16. Ooopps. That would help, it is a black headliner.
  17. As the title says I have an extra headliner for a 69/70 Coupe, $20.00 + shipping Factory dash gauges w/glass & the mounting pods $60.00 + shipping or make offer.
  18. I would help If I could get access.
  19. Thanks RPM, I tried using my Flickr account & it worked. 100_2385 by Michael Grentus, on Flickr
  20. Since I am waiting until after Christmas to get a new battery for the Mustang (& it is too cold to work on it now) I decided to do some other stuff. I put the car up on 4 jack stands & removed the wheels to bleed the brakes, installed the new front shocks I never installed, removed the front valance & measured & mocked up the front spoiler & drilled the mounting holes before painting the valance. I am slao stripping off all the old paint so I can prime it next week when the weather is warmer. 100_2385 by Michael Grentus, on Flickr
  21. It turns out the battery will not hold a charge, so I need to get a new battery. It is going to wait until after Christmas. I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.
  22. It turns out the battery I was using to try to start my 69 Mustang will not hold a charge, so I need a new one. I am thinking of either a Die Hard or Duralast gold from Auto Zone. Thoughts/recommendations?
  23. I got the starter installed & the wires run today. Battery was dead so I had to charge it. Will test it tomorrow.
  24. I ordered a new PMGR starter & it was delivered today. I am on vacation for a week so I should get it installed & tested before the end of my vacation.
