This is perfect. I will follow these instructions. I do know however, the brakes will release as I am slowing down to about 5-10mph. I then will go from a dead stop and brakes are free. They only drag for about 5 seconds and at low speeds. But I will get the car up to 45mph and hit the brake and...

Hello I have a 68rr coupe 383 4 speed survivor car with Power Brakes and hemi grind cam. The car sat in my garage for 7 years while I was raising my 2 young children. Last year I decided to get it up and running. I did notice the brake reservoir had very little fluid and upon removing it...

Good day I have a 68 rr 383 coupe # matching car , 4 speed with power brakes ( drum). I've had the car for 30 years, yes I am old! HA HA. Okay last year I replaced a very old master brake cylinder. Yes I still have the original I think. Did it for safety only. I bled the new NAPA one, it, bled...

Hello everyone I am a big fan of polishing/ waxing my car by hand. But I'm getting to age where its taking me a week to do my roadrunner. Does anyone have the Porter Cable 7424XP Polisher? I've spent a lot of time watching videos and lots of reviews. Looks like an awesome tool with little risk...

Hello I am interested in taking some high quality pictures of my 68 RR ( Red) I am old school and still have an old cannon camera. Any idea of a good film ( speed) or is my wifes Samsung cel phone S5 good enough? Thanks

Thanks again my friend, you fixed my wiper wash issue a few weeks ago. Do you think I bleed the system correctly? I've heard of guys unseating the cap after taking it for a ride (when it cools down some) to let additional air out. Of course a big towel over the cap. Or maybe its working...

Hello everyone now that the 68RR is running again, hopefully this is the last gremlin. I took it for a ride today and I noticed that the heater hoses and top radiator hose are quite hot compared to the warm bottom hose. I replaced both the water pump and thermostat about a year ago but never got...
