My neighbor Brad and I attempted to bleed the brakes. We sprung quite a few leaks, that all got solved by a little tightening here and there. We are not 100% sure that we got all the air out of the system, so we are going to take another look at it tonight.

I also filled the gaps in the foot boxes with silicone, and beaded the radiator hose extensions. Well, I used a trick recommended on the ffcobra forums. I used rivits on the edges of the extensions instead of beading. This creates enough of a bulge so that the clamp and hose won't slip off. I also put a couple of coats of clear coat on the upper extension, to prevent oxidation.

Brad lent me his wheel dollies, so after we mess with the brakes again tonight, If we "finish" then I'll get the car off the jack stands and onto the dollies. Hopefully, this will give me the mobility I will need to easily drop in the engine.
