July 2021

Ordered some copper-nickel brake line and fabricated new brake lines. Installed all new master and wheel cylinders and hoses. Drug the engine out from under its cover and went after it with the pressure washer. Pulled the transmission and bell housing off and found the rear core plug nearly rusted thru and clogged with crud. Got it cleaned out and got the engine on the stand.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
