I could have had the brakes done a month ago... that foot-long steel brake line on the passenger side was completely clogged. It took a metal bicycle cable, a can of brake cleaner, a 150 PSI air compressor, and some some funkadelic Halloween-colored pipe cleaner to clear. The rest of the brake system is fine because I've already taken the time to bleed all of it.
If I can get everything else done by tomorrow afternoon, I can start stripping the car for paint next week.
I never claimed to be a mechanic. Now you have proof.
edit: It's nice that Moss Motors keeps track of your orders. One of these days, I will add up all the money I've sent them.
