  1. Rregarding your brake system.  Brake fluid absorbs moisture (hydroscopic) which causes rust problems.  Unless your father replaced the system it is a single system.  To completely overhaul the system you would replace the seals in the master cylinder and the seals in each wheel cylinder.  They make rebuild kits for each but some times it is cheaper to just buy new or rebuilts.  The brake lines may have rust holes in them.  You can buy pre bent lines or get your self a roll of brake line, a set of fittings and a double flare tool.

     

    Regarding removing the spark plugs squirt some penetration oil on the plug threads and let sit for a couple of days before trying to remove,  Check your brake shoes as they may have oil and grease on them.  While you are at it regrease your front bearings.

     

    That is a real nice car.  You will be proud to drive.

  2. Joe I am in the same situation as I have to do three tops and four interiors and have gotten some excellent advice from this group.  One suggestion I received from another group was to put a tennis ball under the foot switch to slow you down and provide resistance.  I also have an excellence article on converting pulleys.

  3. About forty years ago I bought a load of square bale hay and straw at auction.  It was stored in a barn and the house on the property.  As we were removing the bales from the house my son found that he was standing on a 1923 T touring.  We drove home and got a trailer.  As we were leaving the property the local cop pulled us over and wanted to know where it came from.  He had grown up on the farm and the T was grandpa's.  A deal was struck and we delivered it to has home.
