Re: Knomadd's '65 GTO (Royal Goat)

Here's a bit of an update... I had my parents down around Thanksgiving 2014 (4.5 months ago) and was showing them the new wheels, going to go for a drive when my mom asked about my shifter (hurst quarter stick). I told her to get in and step on the brake so I could show her how it worked. She proceeded to push the pedal all the way to the floor. When we decided to go for a drive, I came to my first stop sign and barely had any brakes... back into the garage it went.

It turns out I had air in the lines and a dry master cylinder. Apparently there's a leak somewhere.

To make a long story short, I'm now having to replace a swollen rubber flex line, and while I'm at it I will replace some poorly bent lines that I've never really been happy with, and rebleed the system. Now if I could just get my work load under control so I can be home at a decent hour, and not have my weekends planned for me, I can get them done...
