An assortment of hoses and rebuilt calipers have arrived at my garage. Tomorrow I plan on installing all of my new calipers and getting ready to get the brakes system ready. Unfortunately, my vendor has two small hoses on back order which is preventing me from filling the system with brake fluid. I'm hoping to receive the missing hoses by the week after next and getting everything in proper working order. While I wait for that to happen I should be able to use the parking brake and move the car out into the sunshine for some much needed cleaning. I can also install all the missing fuel lines and prepare the gas tank. I need to pressurize the gas tank to check for leaks. Any leaks will be soldered closes and the tank will be sanded and painted. The tank has already been sealed internally which should prevent any leaks. But better to find out now than after I install it.

Just got my invoice from IAP. I've got LOTS of hoses coming, calipers and more. Hopefully will get the fuel line assembled this week, get the calipers installed. Unfortunately I have to wait a few weeks for the reservoir to master cylinder hoses to come in. I'm pretty bummed about that, but it's not like I don't have other things to do. It'd be nice to get the brake system working though, so I can pull it out of the garage to work on it if needed. Or to clean it.
