Chasing threads…

Fuel line install…

Side note: Fuel line clamps should have the green finish like the one on the left. BUT, original ones had sharp ‘squared off’ edges like the original one on the right. Not a biggie for Jeff’s car…we’ll go with the new reproductions like the left.

New rubber fuel hose from steel fuel line to gas tank. Note, original fuel hoses had no labeling, so I’m removing it with Acetone.

Front stabilizer bar. It was rough (needed some serious sanding)

Stabilizer bar - priming it

Painting the final coat (front stabilizer ‘anti-roll’ bar)

Brake master cylinder, calipers & booster…

  

Original brake master cylinder for a ‘65 power brake car. Needs rebuilt, but rare to see.

Original four brake calipers - very rusted; will need rebuilt & re-sleeved

Original power brake booster

Cleaning up the rusty relay rod

Relay rod all clean and refinished. New control valve installed.

Cleaning up the original “A” headmark bolt to be re-used on the control valve. Whenever possible, I prefer original hardware.
