As someone who is going to be the new owner of a 1968 mustang your channel has been extremely helpful and informative to diagnosing any issues that I might have in the future. Keep up the great work man!
My first car was a 1965 C Code Mustang Fastback I bought in 1980, a few weeks after I bought it the front flexible brake line going to my front drivers side drum brake rubbed against the tire and wore a hole in it, making my lose my brakes coming off the freeway, I panicked, and immediately pulled on the emergency parking brake, and downshifted my car to try and stop it, I was lucky I did not crash the car, because it stopped in the middle of an intersection where it was red in my direction, and the cars went around me. I found a dual reservoir master cylinder and disk brakes off a 1970 Mach 1 and adapted it to fit in my Mustang, and used Stainless Steel flexible brake lines and adapted them to work. I highly recommend that you change your single reservoir master cylinder and get a dual master cylinder.
"I highly recommend that you change your single reservoir master cylinder and get a dual master cylinder" I've got a few more videos for you to watch. :)
That car lift is so neat. I love how you aren't afraid to tinker. With just about anything. Very great approach to life. That one bolt was so rusted into the car. Maybe try a torque screw driver? " I'm gonna have to come back to this one too" 😅🤣. You are so calm and patient on the outside. I wonder if inside you are the same. 🤣 another easy one??? Maybe for you🤣
The beauty of being an editor for my own videos is I only get to show what I want to show. There have been a few times where I needed to omit something I may have said. :) Sometimes I do the work in the video over an hour or two, and sometimes a few weeks (like my current project). There's usually time to collect my thoughts and say something useful while on camera when I'm trying to figure this stuff out. Thanks for the compliments. Sometimes it's as easy as it looks and sometimes I use clever editing.
I see this has been addressed on VMF, but for those who aren't on there, those two vertical holes on the floor support where the parking brake spring was located is where the spring goes in. Just thread one end of the spring into the top hole and bring it out the bottom hole. That holds it in place.
Awesome, it's great to hear that someone can find some value in my videos. :) I was fully ready to buy a new E-Brake system, but I'm glad I checked into mine first. It was essentially a free fix, I love those!!
FYI...If you end up replacing the 1st section of cable..push the fire wall grommet in from inside the car! with engine and manual trans in you can't push it up thru from the engine compartment! Or leave the old 1 in place. Just replaced mine on a 64.5 coupe.
Awesome, thanks for the heads up! My Fastback doesn't have the parking brake installed, so I'll have to be mindful of this stuff when I get to that part. :)
Isn't it amazing how long it takes to do a simple job like that maybe half an hour 45 minutes climbing under the car getting back out pull ing away back and forth back and forth. If we just had two people to do it it would take about 5 minutes or less. I know sometimes I try to get my son to help me do something but it's hit or Miss at best
Truth. Now, try worrying about setting up a camera to capture all that stuff so it helps the next guy. There are times when I'd rather put the camera down and just turn a wrench. But I'm always happier when I've got a video I can upload and help others with the same project. :)

I appreciate that! If one person can pull something of value out of each video, then that's a win in my book. :)
Another great video Andy. You always make it look so easy, and the tempo of your instruction is just right. Appreciate it!!
Thanks 👍
Thanks Andy
My 66 is missing a lot of the components. I’ll be watching this when I reinstall it
Awesome, good luck, you've got this!! :)
@@AndyKruseChannel I have so much to do it’s ridiculous but fun

4:52 is so relatable, you can hear the disappointment in his voice but he's also used to it lol
Yeah, sometimes these cars can be a pain to deal with, especially if they've been neglected by the previous owner(s). :)
Nice job Andy 👍
Thanks 👍
I see this has been addressed on VMF, but for those who aren't on there, those two vertical holes on the floor support where the parking brake spring was located is where the spring goes in. Just thread one end of the spring into the top hole and bring it out the bottom hole. That holds it in place.
I wish I could add a small clip to the video to update it because this is good info for those wanting to tackle their Parking Brake. :)
Mounting the spring in those holes will also mount the spring higher and reduce the chance of clatter from the spring contacting the exhaust
by far the easiest tutorials for my car lmaoo. first time owner of a 67 and i have the exact same problems lol

Thanks for the video it will be useful.
Let me just tell you this: at least yours came with the spring
I can imagine that it would be difficult to operate the Parking Brake without that helper spring. :)
Tap the screw/bolt wityh a brass hammer, the harmonics loosens rusted parts.
Have no clue but it works.
Yeah, there’s lots of weird little tricks like what you described, no clue how some of that stuff works. 😀
Great looking lift, what's its name & manufacturer ? Thanks Andy.
QuickJack, I did a review video about it. :)

I like your lift
Thanks, it great when you don’t have the space or the funds for a full size lift.
the spring goes in the 2 little holes
I have since fixed it, thank you.
Andy you mean people still use a PB
We’re a dying breed. 😄
you put the spring in backward
Thank you.
