    Finally took My '54 Buick out on the road to a car show in a nearby town. It ran great, but has issues with hard brake pedal (manual brakes) and front brakes not releasing completely.

    Had a LOT of people taking photos and it's unmolested condition was a hit. Before I left, had a really cute pinup girl pose by My car 008.JPG 013.JPG

    To fix your front brakes sticking, replace the rubber hoses going to the wheel cylinders.

    I will be doing that, going to order some. I managed to get back by skipping a few stop signs on mostly rural roads, only using brakes 2 times as I got close to home
