Very nice.

Thanks. It took a long time to get it all cleaned up, painted, and lights installed. Next up will be some shelving units for fluids, some kind of workspace, and a toolbox. There are some not pictured shelves in the back, but right now the only flat workspace that isn't the floor is a tiny...

Final repairs on the garage and light installation is done. Both cars are now in the garage. I need to fix a transmission cooling line on the Fury so it’s driveable, then back to work on the Monaco.

Work on the car has been paused since the last update because I’ve moved to a place with more garage space. Unfortunately I’ve been busy since moving with household things, but things are looking up. I finished half of the ceiling paint in the garage and just finished installing new LED bar...

Got the booster hooked back into the pedal, bracket, and brake switch after maneuvering in ways my body may never fully recover from. Next time anything needs doing under the dash, the seat is coming out and staying out until I'm done. After that I got one of the front wheels off to start...

Got the car jacked up to flush and inspect the rear hardlines. Lucky for me the car came with the highly desirable 'gas tank removed and in the trunk' option. Not sure what the fender tag code is for that. This made getting at all the lines a lot easier. The lines are in good shape and...

Master cylinder to brake valve loops came back from Inline Tube in less than a week. The front flexible brake hoses were held on with clips that were practically cemented in with a mixture of dirt and grime. Both required a liberal application of Deep Creep followed by rotating them with...

Got the rebuilt booster from http://boosterdeweyexchange.com out this evening. They received mine around 12/28 and mailed it back on 1/9, which I thought was pretty quick. It looks great, has a new rubber boot, new check valve, and they even peeled the Mopar stickers off my original and sent...

Master cylinder to proportioning valve lines were sent off to Inline tube last week after I couldn't find anyone local to copy them. New ones will be back in my hand early next week. New aftermarket radiator installed as documented in these threads: Bending/adjusting lower radiator support...

I called Inline today and spoke with a guy named Dan. Checked what patterns they had available and said he wasn't confident enough in the patterns they have for a 74 Monaco to be willing to make a set of brake lines without me sending mine in to be copied.

No worries, I didn't realize I left that out in my first post.

Yeah, I have a 360 unfortunately. The upper radiator port is on the driver's side (no issue getting a perfect fit molded for that). The water pump outlet and lower radiator port is on the passenger side. That's great news on the brake line set, I was beginning to dread that after wrecking a...

Do you remember if it was these parts? 75-78 Newport/NYer should be the same as a 74 Monaco as far as I know, but I don't know much. Turns out if I flip the page there are Monaco specific items, but fuel and transmission only, not brakes.

Maybe I'm missing something, but aren't those the big block hose part numbers, which would mean the upper goes to the wrong side and the lower would be too short and/or have the wrong angles?

I had to hit the connection points with some penetrating oil to get the lines from the valve to the master cylinder free. Even doing that I managed to sheer one off. There was brown sledge in both lines and both of the lines had a decent amount of rust once I cleaned off the surface. I'm...

Thanks!

Brake booster is removed. I thought this was going to be easy but the four bolts in the firewall require you to get into some unnatural angles to get them off.

If I do end up bending my own lines, will I need a 37 or 45 degree double flare toolset?

Thanks. I think I have my work cut out for me getting all the lines off.

Thanks, I had no idea. It seems like it would be a good candidate for a refurb, but I guess not.
