I had a 1969 Cadillac coupe deville project last winter. I bought it because it was cheap and I was bored, I gave up on it and sold it. My project this winter is finding a solid, running 68 charger.

That set up is part of the MP Power Brake kit.  You need to fabricate the plumbing to connect up to the combination valve, but otherwise it appears to be plug and chug

Not a thing.  I already did 3 years of work in one year.  It's turn key, looks nice and I'm taking a winter break.  I normally drive them once a month for a short run in the dead of winter.  :2thumbs:
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

Just 6T9 CHGR

Trying to find the parts to possibly put back the factory ac set up.... Anyone have a set of 69 only big block a/c lines?  :wave:

Nice! I ordered the Performance Suspension kit last Friday and I wanna get their front disc brake kit as well - which one did you order?
Also on the agenda: convert the car back from manual to power steering but with a firm feel box.
