Awesome car, looking forward to seeing it at MCACN!

I would advise against silicone brake fluid unless you are just looking for a show queen. The water not absorbing into the brake fluid isn't necessarily a good thing, as the water will then be capable of &quot;flashing&quot; to vapor if the fluid goes over the water's boiling point, which leads to soft pedal. The hygroscopic action of the brake fluid is there to be able to absorb some moisture without affecting braking performance until it becomes oversaturated (and you bleed). On the plus side, silicone brake fluid doesn't eat paint. But that's about the end of the plus sides...

Ryan can you please measure wheels and post oh a doing so. I've seen '69 W-31 cars that were &quot;supposedly&quot; original with different width rims. I don't know if the Canadian destination could be a factor. Soliciting opinions or comments on this. Please take a picture with ruler or tape measure showing the overall width. Thanks in advance.
On another note, my 4-speed guy says not to use synthetic gear lube in Muncies. Seems the oil is too slippery and won't cling to the rotating parts.

Hi Dave, I will measure the rims but all have tires on so need to reach around them to get a width.

Hi Kurt, your vote is dually noted:-) you really beat on you M23:-)

I also found the stamp TM just as I suspected! Same as the black/topaz twin to my car:-)

Haven't tried to decode them yet
