Took my GT off the road back in March to do a little work on her. Leaf springs and rear shocks, water pump and electric fuel pump. Back then I figured it would take me 4 to 6 weeks tops. Well, 7 months later I just finished all the work. I got her started and running Wednesday evening and thought, hot damn, I'm going to take her around the block for a ride.
So I put her in gear and slowly start out down the driveway. First time she's moved from that spot in 7 months. So I go to put my foot on the brake before I get to the bottom of the driveway and..... NO BRAKES! I quickly grab the emergency brake and bring her to a stop before getting to the road and then back up the driveway to her spot. Now, I have to go through the brakes and with cold weather right around the corner.
I guess the first thing is to check the master cylinder fluid level and start looking for leaks. What brake fluid does a 62 GT require?
