Yes,
The first time is stepped on the brakes 3 of the lines blew out, I actually took the car for a little drive just using the e brake to stop, going to make them myself like I did for the fuel lines to save money.
Just picked up a 1972 Plymouth Fury Gran Coupe

Thanks,
A lot of it I learned when I worked at a two bay garage, when I lived in Bridgeport Connecticut, I worked with a old time mechanic there and learned a lot, and he was a true ball buster. He believed in rebuilding parts In shop rather than buying new or re manufactured . He was big into the old 1930s- to early 1950s ford flathead v8s and used to have me

Jon, very surprised to hear about the brake lines. We had that car up on the lift and everything looked good and the only problem I ever had was a wheel cylinder going. Was it the rubber lines or the steel lines? Suggestion. Whatever shoes you ordered, send them back and the next time you are in CT let me sell you some NOS or NORS shoes with some genuine asbestos. The new brake shoes suck, crack early and don't stop as well as the good old stuff. Just my 2 cents.

This is on my 72 fury, they were so rusted from how long the car sat outside. The 68 I bought from you is fine, I am driving that a couple times a every week.
oops. Shouldn't read the forum when I am really tired. I still recommend going with the good old shoes and pads.

I've done the bend-flare-all-myself route numerous times, but after installing some repops, for money vs time spent I'll never do the bundycoil route again. Have you priced some of the repop lines? They aren't cheap, but the hand-fab tubing ain't free either.
DO YOU STILL OWN THIS CAR? HAVENT SEEN ANY UPDATES ON THIS POST IN MONTHS. I EMAILED YOU AT THE ADRESS YOU GAVE ME IN THE SUMMER AND IT BOUNCED BACK, I WANTED TO SEE IF YOU WERE STILL SELLING THAT DESOTO WE HAD TALKED ABOUT?

I have a 1972 Fury III. If you have a moment, could you post pictures of your interior door panels and quarter window panels? Thanks

That's a nice car you have. I agree with you I bet it was the same upholstery patterns as mine that your car had.

Been a long time since I posted any updates. Finally fixed the nightmare under the vinyl top.
Nice car! @Analog Kid has a '72 Fury iii in the same outside color.

How much would something like that cost?
