Default Stupid brakes!

The morning started out fine...a little fun with the wife, sunny forecast, driving the vette to work...then the stupid brake light comes on...pedal goes to floor :skep: So I have to turn around and head for home. Had to take the pickup (Stupid brakes!). I guess it's time for a brake job. Since it's an '82 and the brakes have never been touched, I'll just replace all the brake lines and calipers. May as well replace the fuel lines while I'm under the beast. Stupid brakes! :(
