This being a safety item why not upgrade to a more modern master cyinder / booster. I refitted my 1951 Dodge mayfair with a Master cylinder and booster out of a 2002 dodge caravan. with front disc brakes, no regrets. I know original is nice but not always practical.

I'm amazed every time when you can just order parts for a 60 year old car in Canada/U.S. Finding that key! 👍😎👍 I'm so jealous that Myles gets to drive such cool Mopars on a daily basis. Frankers and the packaging 😄 I always read different names of the patreons in the end credits - gotta say a shout out to the funniest I've spotted so far 'Shatners Toupee' 😂

The February picture on the calendar is awesome. I’m a little odd, I won’t look at the pictures until the 1st of the month when I flip the calendar. That way each month brings a nice surprise.

Those early GM power brake boosters were hecca complicated. Kind of glad I never had the pleasure of having to deal with one. Great show today as always, a little bit of everything. Pity that tire had a blowout it looked like a good one.

Back in the 60s when we used to get beaucoup snow, my dad had Atlas snow tires one winter on his '61 Mercury Comet. They were basically bald by the end of Winter as most snow tires were wont to do.😛

[@GlennNickerson-j8w]

Our winter tires were bald by winter because we ran them year round!

[@tomlewis3658]

Congrats for that beautiful ignition key. You can tell a Mopar guy - your 1st attempts were with the key notches pointing up, instead of down. And we got not only the taillight shot at the end, but also the Mopar starter serenade.

[@robertshemory3541]

Thanks for sharing gentlemen and Bunny. Looking forward to seeing more. Cheers ❤✌️👍😎

Old Singers are the best, challenging sometimes but the best! I'm running my grandma's 1929 127 treadle, though I usually run it on a motor as I'm a bit too tall to be comfortable keeping a good speed without hitting my knees under the table. So I have to keep my legs and feet out to treadle. So, Chineseium motor while I restore an appropriate period motor and light for it. Buick is coming along awesome, cheers man!

Frankers is definitely making sure there is no return of the kit if it had to go back. It’s interesting the archeological dissection of this old booster. On my ‘62, it looks like an old squeeze box. I rebuilt it last year. Looking good so far Scott. Ah ha, saw what you did there. Made sure the Mrs. Saw it, she laughed 😊😊. Flexing all your talents this episode, enjoy watching. It helps keeping me motorvated.😊

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

This episode of Light Buzz was a real nail biter. As soon as I saw how complicated that Buick booster was, I thought for sure you would come to your senses, abandon your purist ways and start hunting down a Crown Vic or S10 for a body swap. You have my respect for taking the hard road and seeing the booster overhaul to completion.

[@RoweSandberg]

The setup of all the hanging parts ready to be painted was like an automotive version of a "suspended mobile". 👍

[@phooesnax]

Awesome work! Thanks for sharing it!

[@danielulz1640]

Yay Miles! Congrats on finding that key. It is an upscale, aftermarket key, not an original factory issue. The lock position locks the ignition switch and does not allow the switch to be turned on without the key. The off position does allow the switch to be turned on without the key. Just a GM thing for some reason.

[@coldwarmotors]

Oh! That is definitely a feature from a different time in the world, hey?

[@danielulz1640]

​@@coldwarmotorsdef!

[@robertmccormick6381]

No surprise that they were still doing the ignition switch that way in 1960.

[@robertstout6980]

IIRC, Briggs and Stratton was the supplier for GM keys. Hex head for ignition, round for trunk and glove box. That configuration remained until the advent of locking steering columns.

[@danielulz1640]

My 64 Corvair still had that feature, but my 66 Buick Special did not. ​@@robertmccormick6381

Makes sense... Esso is "Eastern States Standard Oil"... Atlas was the house brand at Standard stations around here.

[@gordonborsboom7460]

​@boggy7665 Ha . This was a crossword clue last week in the local newspaper about what Standard Oil became. Four letters. I guessed Esso but thought it was a Canada only name! I never knew it was an abbreviation for a longer company name.

Scott, the intro fit the episode to a T! Finding a rebuild kit for a 65 year old vacuum booster is a feat unto itself! Congrats on that! Painting the virtually invisible parts is a very smart preservation move! After several more years there will not be any parts cars left! So the Buick will remain intact long after it would with hidden bare metal bits! The upholstery segment was impressive! Hey just glue a boot or two onto that Grip Safe side wall defect and keep the Ford under 50 and she'll last! Those Rustoleum rattle can primer/finish paints actually hold up over time! I used a bunch on my 66 VW resto interior, but because my age caught up on me I sold the VW for decent money and the guy who has it is still smiling a few years down the road! Mega Cheers to you and the Cold War Motors gang for a great start to the new year!

[@grindleyferris]

I re-upholstered the headliner of my 1939 Morris 10 with corduroy when I was 12 - a devil of a job but successful. I wish I'd had the privilege of the internet then. Old school Auto Upholstery is a great site and will be of great use when I tackle my '25 Chev Series K this winter; thanks for the recommendation! Atlas Tire made a Grip Safe in 1949.

[@ronpat13]

Another amazing episode! I loved the symmetry of the 8 mm film with the same pickup truck for February on your calendar. Watching you take the master brake cylinder apart was an education, and I'm glad you were doing it, not me. I still have "SPROING" nightmares from when I could work on my car. I also have great respect for your dedication to authenticity, especially for the Matador upholstery. As well, I attempted to find out what year your Classic Tire was from but was unsuccessful. Myles' finding the key was amazing, you guys should buy lottery tickets, lol. And, finally, thanks for the tail lights shot! Cheers.

Ok guys the Buick key Myles found were blanks you could buy at K-Mart and have cut to fit your car. Other stores sold them too. And the lock on the ignition is to lock the ignition. You'll notice you can pull the key out at off as well. Some folks would leave the ignition unlocked and lock their doors so they didn't need to put a key in the ignition. Those cars got stolen a lot. Cheers 🇨🇦

[@lancemclean9273]

Amazes me what you can still buy for parts - can’t believe there are still rebuild kits for that booster/master combo! Fortunate though .
