Default Finally!! Maiden Voyage w/ new brakes!!

Well, after a prolonged weekend project... she's finally back on the road. What a night and day difference it is! No comparison whatsoever. Lets hope that's the end of that problem for a very long long time! I will try to have pics of hte finished product, as well as that stupid hard brake line that i had to custom make. Grrr. But all in all i'm just happy to be driving again! :)

I bet the new brakes do feel good. Brakes degrade sooo slowly that it is easy to forget how nice it is to have a firm pedal.

Congratulations on your success! :cheers:

Congrats! You have just repair the most single important component on the Vette. It doesn't matter how fast you can go if you cant bring it to a safe stop. Especially considering the amount of time and love that goes into restoring a vehicle.
