Started changing from a single curcuit to dual curcuit master, got everything apart and the kit I bought doesn't have the right size fitting. Oh well off to the part store again.

I work in P&C insurance down here in Louisiana(a very high rated state) and if your company will allow you to write a separate classic auto policy those are so much cheaper than regular auto policies plus they come with some benefits.

Certain companies like Hagerty guarantee a flat bed tow if needed for up to 'x' dollars, plus they're what's called agreed value policies which is better than actual cash value(acv) or stated value. With acv you won't get what your car is worth, and stated value only set's the premium but only pays out acv instead of the value that was stated. Agreed value will pay out the value that you state. So what I'm getting at is, ask for an Agreed Value Classic Auto Policy.

To give you an idea, my '05 Cobalt with liability only I'm paying $145/Mo.(like I said Louisiana is very high), but my '78 Mustang II with:
  • Liability at 100/300/100
  • Un/Under Insured Motorist at 100/300
  • Collision with a $50 deductible
  • Comprehensive with a $0 deductible
  • Towing up to $50
  • Rental Reimbursement($30/Day max 30 days)
is only $118/Year.

Polished 1967 Mustang

I put the last quarter window in and then polished and waxed the car. It was a labor of love!

Replaced my water pump, and attempted to fix my carburetor. Car is still stalling out, but I didn't see any leaks, and still hearing a very annoying squeaking noise which I thought was the water pump.

Looked at it through the garage window as I got into my Taurus to go to work.

Continued converting my brakes to dual circuit, decided to replace wheel cylinders and soft lines. Well it looks like I get to replace the I'll be replacing the metal line going to right front, I think the last time it was apart was some in early 1966.

I finally put on the parking brake cables, equalizer, lever and return spring that I bought 5 years ago. I can't believe I went through all that work and did not replace the shoes, hardware and wheel cylinders! I plan to try to convert to 4 lug rear discs this winter though so don't want to waste the money. The setup I pulled from a junkyard has drum in hat parking brake so my cable effort was not wasted.

Took it on a 90 minute test drive with my wife. Drove to Gratiot in Detroit but nobody was out. Big cruise this weekend. Bit of a knock when hard braking. Have to check that out, but otherwise did great.

Started replacing the rear brake hose, ended up replacing the rear hose and metal lines. For some reason they don't want to come off after being on there 47 years.
