Brakes, continued

I stripped most of the old brake lines out of the car last night. It wasn't too terribly bad, but it would have been a lot easier to do, if I had taken the body off of the car.

Master cylinder is installed, it just needs attached to the pedal. I can't do this until I get at least the front brakes installed, since I need to wheel the car out of its stall in order to open the driver's door.

The new brake line looks good, at least in the package. I went with Jeg's powdercoated steel lines. They were only a few dollars more than the plain steel lines, and it should offer more protection than me simply clear coating the lines by hand.

I've got all of Saturday to work on the car, so I hope to have at least the front wheel back together. Maybe even get the master cylinder hooked up.
