Bled the brakes on the '68 really well. They're improved, but it's still not stopping how I want I to stop. You have to really stand on the pedal hard to get them to lock up. I've struggled with getting this car to stop for years. I was looking back on some old threads the other day where I tried a bunch of master cylinders. I forgot how many I've been through trying to improve the brakes. Maybe it's as good as it's going to get.

While I was under the car doing the rear brakes, I noticed a missing nut for the rear control arm. The bolt was backed off a good 1/2". Yikes. Not sure how that happened, but I got it fixed.
