Hey all,
Just wanted to post some pics. I finally got the front brakes rebuilt with the parts MC mounted on the firewall and new lines. The lines were thrown in pretty quick, may route differently in the future, but may just support the current routing as well. At any rate, she stops on her own now  . For those wondering about rear brakes, I will tie them in when I put the PG rear I purchased from Bill G. under her at some time. I'm just trying to get her road worthy enough to drive to the Highway Patrol office and go through the abandoned vehicle process. Here are some pics.
All comments welcome.
Chris

You had to be flying down the road to blow the dang hood off the car.

Thanks Guys,
I haven't been flying down the road yet, but did get into 3rd gear on the driveway . I can bounce the front end about like dribbling a basketball. Is ride height the best check for weak springs? Obviously needs shocks.
Started getting lights and signals in order as well. I'd rather not drive it to the inspection and then be told I have to trailer it home.

Chris, not sure if you know this but Tony put one of your pics on the CT facebook page. I've already received a comment from a non-chevy friend asking when my car will look as good as your.
Time to go delete him.
