Another summer without driving the Ford Thunderbird, however this means we can do MORE over the winter. So with that in mind, the brake lines are getting replaced (because we tore them up) as well as refurbing the callipers. The easiest way to get to the brake lines? Take the whole front off and tear it down. 
Good job we did, because the battery tray was more of a sieve, at least it's probably original to 1966... and the front wing supports had some seriously dodgy repairs from way back, so there's a bunch of sheet metal to work on too! Spoiler: We didn't get the brake lines in, or the callipers rebuilt. Damn.
