More brake work

The front brakes are in! They are not only in, but they are completely finished! I still need to complete the rear brake lines, and mount the e-brake cables, but it is getting very close to the point where I can say that the brakes have been completely replaced.

I also have been getting the wiring harness ready to put it back in the car. There is still a lot of cleaning up to do before I can say that is ready, but another task that is getting close to being done.

Brakes are almost done

The main front to back line is done. All of the lines are made. Today I installed the reservoir, and hooked up all the lines to the master cylinder. I think I can confidently say that a few more hours, and I can cross off brakes from the list. The two lines that run from the main frame to the rear brakes need mounted, and the rear brakes are complete. The front brakes still need the flex lines mounted, and the fittings added to the front calipers.

I've already rebuilt the front calipers, and painted them.

I am getting close to finishing the brakes. I am really getting close.
