She's up on jack stands, Had a R/R wheel cyl. seize ( got two). Shoe's on that side showed tiny cracks ( got the set), I'm no longer a New York State Vehicle Inspector. May run out of friendly ones. So while things apart decided to put on brake cables (ordered them), Knowing I would never need them (strip only car) I must have thrown out the brake struts- goes between the shoes and levers - connects cables to shoes, Had to find them, Took a bit ( called dessert valley in luck), but No foot pedal assembly in car, was drag only now going street only, (ordered it From desert valley also) took a while but got it, Has a 10 point cage in it, so had to pull seat and left vent assembly to get at the area to install it, but did not come with fastener for cable to the pedal assembly, had to fabricated one from a disc pad pin from foreign car caliper-so it would be strong enough and not get jammed in the tight quarters where it had to work, do to body stiffeners being welded to frame rails no place to secure front cable under car - fabrication again, got all cables in, but cable "equalizer-connector' not available, went to home depot to get 1/2" r/angle bar stock to fabricate one, figured I would install the 10 lb. PSI residual pressure valve in rear brake system - it was a single bowl master with four wheel drums - I converted it to 10.5 inch dart disc system up front - dual master - no power - so used 15/16's bore master (did this a few years ago - got tough stopping it at the big end with 10.5 inch drum brakes on both ends @ 125-129 MPH, so figured I bleed them before finishing E-Brk stuff - I was waiting for more parts, but no fluid coming out of cylinders - Diagnosed- Flex hose at axle NG, it is still the original from 66, I must have crushed it went I pinched it off , but found it -it's in OHIO. So go back to E-Brk cables, due to springs becoming S/S Mopar springs -Requires new front hangers- and I also moved them inboard of "frame" so no where in back to hang those cables to connect to the front! That stuff was cut out to relocate spring perches. Will have to fabricate again. Back to home depot 1/8 x 1 1/4 inch flat stock, but due to headers and exhaust (3" system straight piped & down spouted before axle - wanted to make sure I could here the Delta 40's going down the road) it (exhaust) will have to be "adjusted". So stuck now till brake hose shows ( hope Wed.) Got about 20 hours in that stuff alone, most of which is yelling at myself and the car as each time I get off my back and out from under the car to get something and then climb back under it's the wrong size, length, etc. climb back out and under and it starts again with now I need a !!!!!!!!cuking ________. And when this "stuff" is all done It won't be able to be seen, and won't make it any quicker. Probably add 30-40 lbs. to car.
