+1 for having the rear window down when the fronts are down. It is such a cool car when all the windows are down.

Lol. Thanks for that. I agree the car is so much cooler with the windows down. Can't wait to get him out on the road :) Thanks for watching!

I agree, brakes and steering are the most important investments in a vintage car. Looks like original shocks too! Love my ‘67. Looking forward to your journey.

Thanks for the comment. That is cool that you have a '67 as well :) Been trying to get my 64 4 speed up and running and then I can continue the progress on my '67 too. Thanks for watching!

@@robertsimmons1716 That is cool. Ya, we have a red 64 Monza that is a Powerglide, and also a dark blue 64 that is a 4 speed, which is the one that I am currently engine swapping (if you have not seen those of my latest videos).

the shocks are our spiral shocks made in delcos plt3 downtown dayton.......they were still making them when i started in 76 ...

Your on the right track as far as what needs to be replaced on the brakes; I would definitely replace all the wheel cylinders; If you only replace a few; the vehicle will tend to pull one side favoring the side that both front back sides were replaced . The master does need to be replace . Also check the hard lines in the tunnel pan, As well as the front hard line above the fuel tank; Which will require removing the tank. The brake hoses should have a date code on them if they where replaced from the factory ones .& last if your replacing any brake shoes; For instance one rear set needs to be replaced on one side do both rears; Same with the front . That will be a major brake job, But will be well worth it . Thanks for the video.

@@EndWrenchRookie I'll be be doing allot of brake work soon on my 03 Silverado. Front, & rear brake hoses; As well as some rear hard lines on the rear; I bought a complete brake line kit ( pre bent ) for the whole truck; Which was cheaper! the front,& rear brake hoses cost the most $$$$. & I'm replacing the rear parking brake cables as well . This is my tow vehicle for the travel trailer , & car trailer; So it's due; Being 20 years old😉.I have all the parts in my inventory now.

That's great! Do you replace (generally) the hard lines because they leak? Or because they are clogged? Or just for good measure. I haven't had a hard line failure before is why I ask :) Thanks a bunch!

@@EndWrenchRookie Good question! I'll replace any hard line that I see any type of surface rust on. I've yet to have any hard lines leak; Or get clogged, But I have had a couple of failures due to rust.

Ahhh. I see. Thanks for the clarification!

The trunk where the seam sealer is where part of your leak is being presented! Brake fluid will remove paint! You may want to check your floorboard, where the master cylinder sits, could be on the floor!

Your '67 Corvair looks great underneath! No rust!

Not "every" Corvair leaks. Depends on the mechanic and if they follow directions.
