Nice car! You're spoiled. You think those are rusty brake lines? Can I send you some from a typical MN car to show you what rusty is?
Good luck with the project!
Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way

More stuff.... Putting the driver's side caliper back together and mounted in the car. Fit's pretty good. Glad I did this for the Bendix system is pretty easy.... New calipers seals, new hoses and as seen before, new lines... I removed the old front-2-rear line and the Dana lines as well. I'll tackle the passenger side here in the coming week along with installing the new Dana lines, wheel cylinders and hardware kit... Rest of the car doesn't look all that pretty, but, I'll get to that later.. I just wanna get the car going down the road...

Well, things are wrapping up on the hydraulic brake system. I've replaced all the lines, cleaned out the valving and replaced the master cylinder. I attached it to the power brake booster and freshened up the unit with a fresh coat black. I'm going to see about turning the drums and getting hardware.... After I get the brakes all bleed and good to go, new fuel lines are next.............
Here's I'm getting ready to paint the power bracke booster/master cylinder unit. It cleaned up rather nicely and then reman M/C.

Troy,nice looking car,can't go wrong with a32 axle pkg.Havent seen to many 500's what are the hoses from the firewall for?I thought they have fixed headlights!Scott.
The C500s were converted from R/Ts... Sometimes they cut the hoses off at the firewall, other times they wrapped them with electrical tape and hung them somewhere... True craftsmen those Creative Industries guys..

Update: Grille... I'm slowly getting the grille all squared away now. I have an NOS passenger side headlamp bucket and the attach brackets. What I was in need of was the inside vertical support brackets and driver's side headlamp bucket (which is IMPOSSIBLE) to find. I feel I'm extremely lucky to have found the NOS passenger side. Anywho, here's what I did/doing as of today...
Majority of what I have to start with...
