I took a shot in the face bleeding the master cylinder. Apparently there was an air bubble in the line

replaced diverter box in air con/heat system and cleaned all other duct work. my "S" duct is damaged so I gotta order another. I adjusted all the cables to ensure full movement and eyeballed every aspect of the system. I rubbed some "bay rum oil" from Plum Island Soap Company in the duct work to condition it and give it a little odor. :}

added a chrome water pump from Jegs and had the lower bolt hole of my a/c bracket welded back together. U never know what u r gonna find when u start digging in these old rods.

I added a spring to my passenger side kick panel door vent that will close the door when I switch back to the "outside" air mode. took me forever to figure out how to get that damn door to close on it own.

gave the carpet a hair cut where the mats have opened some of the loops.

Washed and detailed the engine and suspension. Washed the body also.

Installed 2 new parking lamp assemblies in the front bumper.

changed the oil and filter.

busy boy!!!

What did you use/do to trim the carpet? I have the same problem and want to fix it.......

Unloaded the freshly sandblasted/painted brake drums, 1-inch stabilizer bar, upper and lower control arms and transmission crossmember from my '96. Mocked up the transmission crossmember, then posed a question on here about correct placement.

Life is good.
