A little bit further...
Fixed the rust in the passenger side rear window! Por 15 to the rescue..Got the glass back in too but forgot to take a picture..
Also looked into the brakes...The right front hard line needs to be replaced, also ordered rebuild kits for all the wheel cylinders, and a set of hoses.. Took off the Master cylinder. I toar it down because it only seemed to have pressure on the front circuit.. cylinder boar still looks smooth so if I can find a rebuild kit I hope to go with that. Gave her a spin on the wire wheel and cleaned all the parts individually with brake cleaner.

I'm one town over from Fitchburg. Funny thing is I can't find much information of where or when it was in Fitchburg 
The only thing I could find was that it was split in the 40's it was split into two separate entities: The Fisher School for Men and The Fisher School for Women. Maybe one of them was in Fitchburg?

Hi Stuartzickefoose.. I have been sloooowly working on the brakes.. I have the job all but done... but I decided the front wheel bearings really need to be changed so I'm just waiting on the bearings and the front brakes will go back on and then it will be time to bleed and see if the Master cylinder rebuild worked! Here's a pictures of the MC rebuilt.. bought a brake cylinderr hone, and a n.o.s rebuild kit. Hopefully it works!
I ended up buying new brake cylinders all the way around and new rear brake shoes as well. 4 new brake hoses installed and one hard line replaced. Its all coming together soon and hope to be yard driving in a week or so.. Here is a few before and after pictures of the brake work..
Here is the front..This side will need to come off again when the bearings get here.. I also took all the backing plates off and painted the outside/backside of them.. They look nice. I should have taken a picture of that too.

| Great work! Looks like I'm not the only person doing extensive work outside... Sure makes it difficult sometimes. |
