Got the brakes finished up on Sunday, got the 2 front wheels polished up and back on the Coach...... and then the test drive!!!

For starters, these things stop better when ALL of the brakes are helping out, and this coach will do a burn out on command!!

I also wanted to provide an "Oh Crap" picture, and a "That's interesting" picture.

Here is the "Oh Crap"

Here are a few pictures of the finished front brakes and the inside of one of the front wheels after a little elbow grease, #0 steel wool, and Diluted 1-1 Castrol Super Clean.

And here she is all finished up, pedal is a little spongy so will be bleeding the brakes again.
