Took too long, but I got it there. Yesterday, my buddy Matt came by and we took an hour or so to bleed the brakes and get the braking system running- or stopping I should say.
The first couple of rides and the rear brakes got pretty doggone hot. It seemed like the rear brakes were set too tight. I got out a wrench and re-adjusted the rears and took it for a spin. The result was much better than previously.
So, while the car sat on stands, I was able to complete the following....
- Reupolstered most of the trunk
- Rewired the coil
- Repainted the wheels and wheel centers
- Repainted and refinished the steering shaft
- Repainted and refinished the rear of the exhaust system - Tried to get it looking like a Monza exhaust tip
- Repainted and refinished the rear braking assemblies and drums
- Installed new rear wheel cylinders
- Installed Speed Bleeders in all cylinders.
- Repainted and refinished the brake booster
- Repainted and refinished as well as rebuilt the master cylinder
- Rebuilt the PDWA
- Installed new flexible lines in the rear brakes
- Installed new flexible lines in the front brakes
- Repainted and refinished the front brakes
- Installed new brake pads in the front brakes
The results are pretty doggone good!
