Went back at it today without much success. Removed the MC and made certain it was bench bleed. No air bubbles when pushing the plunger and fluid flowed in solid streams. I plugged the rear at the MC and the front brakes worked OK. Not great but not too bad. Pedal was solid. Attached rear and bleed with Hupy bleeder. Brake pedal was soft and no braking action occurred until the pedal was 2/3 the way down. Drivable but not real safe. Checked to make sure pads were seated on rear rotors and they were. It did not take much pedal movement to stop the wheel moving when jacked up and turned by hand. Really at a loss here.
Is there anyone that can help find someone in the DFW area to come help me? I¹m pretty much over my head now and about done. About ready to list it for sale and walk away. Lots of nice folks with these and have provided some help but I just don¹t have the time or energy to deal with a storage queen. Already missed one trip due to this project and now canceling another. I took a working coach with OK brakes and now have a vehicle that is not safe enough to be on congested roads.
Thanks,

You made a lot of progress. One thing to remember on that 2/3 pedal throw before it firms up - you got twice as many calipers to move on the rear as that MC was designed for. Disks are "self adjusting", so that might improve on its own, if you do have all he air out.
