Here's a short video describing how to upgrade your single circuit master cylinder to the '67 and later dual circuit style.

Do you mean “Engel?”

I've had it on for a year now and not a single problem . . . .

After poring over the ICMDB for a while, I found a black '66 Newport 2 door that looks JUST like my car in the 2016 movie "The Infiltrator." Given the largely unknown history of my car, and that it was originally an east coast vehicle before being auctioned and moved to Washington State in...

I also made a short video talking about how I performed the Ammeter Bypass on my '66 Newport. Hope this helps someone out there who is considering doing this little upgrade.

I made a short video giving an overview of the Putco Headlight Relay installation for anyone that's looking for a little more detail on how it works.

A '65 300 L actually, but same body more or less :)

A good suggestion, but that will make the wheels worth more than the entire van, lol. I’m looking for something I can do in an afternoon without refinishing the entire wheel. I might try a scotch brite pad just to get the discoloration off.

So I’ve got these very nice aluminum wheels on my 2008 Uplander and there’s some corrosion from where wheel weights were previously placed, and brake goo that sat on the wheel for too long. What’s the best way to clean these up? Scotch bright pad, magic eraser, some sort of metal scraper, some...

Slightly off-topic here, but my '66 Newport with a 383-2v and 2.76 has no trouble "keeping up" with normal city traffic. Granted the car is probably 500 lbs. lighter than a Formal, but still, unless someone is driving their Mustang obnoxiously, I don't have any trouble keeping up with the flow...

Are these trim pieces installed correctly, sitting on top of the dash pad? The windshield has been replaced at some point and I’m just curious if they put it all back together correctly or not. Thank you.

If there is music playing in your video that is not yours or something you've bought a license to use, you will likely get copyright claimed, which means you cannot monetize the video. Now if you are a small channel (like mine) it doesn't matter because the channel will likely never get enough...

I ended up using the non-flocked version from Vans that is listed as fitting C Bodies, and while it did fit, it didn't want to stay in place, especially at the very top and after a few times of opening and closing the door. I ended up using weatherstrip adhesive to keep it in place. Are your...
