Hope to change that soon, though it looks like work won't relent for another month. I did get all the glass from Auto City Classics for under $1000, shipped to my house. Nice looking glass. I got them mounted up in the frames, but not installed in the car yet. I'm not happy with the operation of the vent windows, too hard to close, so I need to redo those. I also finished up plumbing the brake lines to the master cylinder. This should have been a slam dunk, but was not. I ordered all '67 HO brake lines, master, proportioning valve from Right Stuff Detailing. The proportioning valve doesn't fit properly on the bracket, needed a minor modification. Then the brake line didn't fit. Fortunately they're local, I bent one up from a coat hanger, took it to their shop, and I watched as their line maker manually made one for me, no questions asked. I was in and out in 10 minutes. Awesome service. I didn't get a pic of the new line, but it fit like a glove, just like the wire I mocked up.
Again, thanks for the interest, it helps keep me motivated to get at it.

Hi Ron,
I'm just wondering what brake booster is pictures here? I'm working on fixing a botched disc brake upgrade done by the previous owner, and for some reason they only list the 11" booster for 67 and up. All applications point to a 9" for 64-66 and while that would work fine for a drum brake set up, I think the the 11" is the minimum for good pedal on a disc brake car. Hopefully you can remember the details!!
Thanks!
