Yesterday:

Installed Rear Wheel Cylinders (Drum Brakes.) I attached the new rear brake lines to them, too.

Today:

1: I got the Rear Brake Hose on, and installed the brake lines to it. It took extra time, since one side of the hose has a larger brake line screw hole than the other (why?) and I needed to buy a size reducer.

2: The Brake Lines in the Rear and the Front Passenger Side have been Ziptied down.

3: I put some Cheap Brake Fluid in the Master Cylinder, to suck up any possible moisture in there. I'll remove it before adding Amsoil Brake Fluid.

Near Future:

1: Re-install the Gas Tank and Lines.

2: Replace the Fuel Line & Vent Line on the passenger side by the engine, in the last few feet. I didn't realize how rusty they are, by the engine.

3: Bleed the Brake Lines.

4: Inspect for leaks.


Farther Future:

I ought to replace the Oil Pan; its integrity is concerning, but seemingly not horrible. I think I need to raise the engine by a few feet, which I've never done before, but I'm sure that it's not too big of a problem.
