Long story short the brakes gave out just as we were about to hit 275 South. Fortunately it was Sunday morning so traffic was pretty light. I called Mom and Dad on the cell.... Hey wanna have breakfast?
We nursed the van over to Classic Camber and parked her. I was planning to take it over Monday anyway so it's all to the good.
Mom and Dad to the rescue. We went over to the swap meet and met the S.P.A.C.E. dudes. Saw some sweet Vee Dubs and met some cool folks, Sven and Jeni in particular.
So here's my to do list and stuff for Classic Camber....
Brakes, Front Right Leaking Brake Fluid, No Pedal.
Clutch Cable - Frayed and Rusted. Replace.
Shifting into First Grinding Sound
Transmission issues. On the road plug replacement Ok?
Engine 500 Mile Adjustment. Remove Heads, Tighten up. Adjust Valves
Install Fuel Level Sending Unit for Fuel Gage
Muffler - Mounting Bracket / Tail Pipe
Driver Door Alignment / Closing & Locking
Headlight Alignment
Safari Clip - Passenger Left Inner. Nuts & Bolts
The driver's side rocker spear trim is too high
Front and Back Roof Racks (vintage)
Chrome Passenger Step
Jack Point Mounted Chrome Plugs w/ Hub Cap Removal Tool
Back Seat Luggage Rack / Jail Bar - Like this one...
Condition of bus in general. Anything not on list?
Source for Middle Seat - Hold Down Brackets
Paint Shop Referral - Repair, Buffed & Clear Coated
What would it take to significantly improve braking, shifting and acceleration and keep her rock steady at speeds up to 65?
KYB Gas-A-Just Shocks, Anti-Sway bars?
Should I stick with Stock or go custom?
