I've backtracked on my original plans to replace the floor boards. I've put my "temporary" road sign floor back in. That fix is going to have to wait for another year.

I've got my seat back in, and my new seat belts installed. I posted this pic elsewhere, but here it is again:




I'm finishing the brake work. I found out the hard way that harbor freight's flaring tool kit is garbage. I tried several times, and couldn't get a good flair from it. I finally gave up on it when the adapter bent. I ended up buying a new kit from NAPA, and it hasn't produced a visibly bad flair as of yet.

I've got two more lines to run in the morning. After that I just need to bleed the system, and it will be pretty much ready to drive again. Can't wait. It's been too long.
