Thanks for the kind words. Passenger side all buttoned up and everything bled and adjusted. Looks like no leaks so far after a test ride into town today. It all wasn't cheap, but then again some of the parts that were replaced were 70+ years old...and I'm willing to bet a few of the replacement parts were on the shelf almost as long judging by the packaging. Had to rebuild a portion of the parking brake linkage, it broke when attempting to adjust it out to work with the new shoes and that was after a lot of oil and even using the torch to get it free...

I also forgot to mention the 6 new tires. She is ready for the ball now! Hopefully in a few weeks when the new shoes settle in, I can get everything adjusted back up and she will be essentially new from the frame down.
