    rear brakes installed

    i used rear brakes off a 98 explorer, had to modify the back plate to fix on the axle, but worked well.

    i am having stainless steel lines made up.
    i also reinstalled my front brakes the other day also, new pads all around :)

    Cleaned it up,drove to work. Adjusted up the carb for the first time since Spring of last year. Just a little tweak on the mixture. Idle had changed slightly so I fixed her up. I do enjoy how turn key this car has turned out. So much so that I had cob webs from the air cleaner base to the float bowls. Its been that long since I had it off. LOL.

    Broke down and bought a good step drill bit to drill the rest of the holes I needed in my panel to fill where the gas tank was. Man they drill some nice holes! Much truer than a bit.
