Wow, I usually marvel at the beauty of nicely finished engines, but your brake assembly takes the cake! don't recall this style of Master cylinder cover. My 1965 Fury has a single well master cylinder. So black was the original factory color? Maybe I will let these guys do my job.

Thanks. The car was converted to DOT 5 about 20 years ago but is still developed leaks and had rust in the master cylinder. But as others say, it might be because the car sat undriven for so long and the rubber deteriorated. Another mistake is I did not replace all the rubber hoses when I...

I want this brake job on my 1965 Fury to be its last. The car has always stopped great (almost too quickly) with the stock drum brakes, so I plan to keep them on the car. But I got corrosion in the master and slave cylinders, with resultant leakage. I ordered rebuilt cylinders at the local...

The leaf springs in both my 1965 Fury and 1972 Newport are now flat, and almost concave. There are places that advertise to re-arch the springs. Other people say don't bother. Metal fatigue will just flatten them again in no time. They say to just get new leaf spring sets. What is the truth...
