        My Grandpa and I took it for it's 1st test drive today! Ran good except for one thing.... No Brakes! We turned around asap, Then drove it back to the driveway and I found 2 leaks in the brakeline for the front 1 on each side.

              Same happened to me. Inside of the bend right before the flex line fitting. Fixed this one only to have a blowout in one of the lines to the rear. Replacing all of the lines.

              Even though my first rupture was only at one wheel, the "cross-plumbed" brake system didn't work. The right front - left rear and left front - right rear are supposed to be separate systems.

                              More work to do

                              Found out today that all of the brakelines are shot and need to be replaced I kinda figured that would be the case, since the car had sat for 4 years before I bought it and rescued it from a slow death
