Getting back to work on the Firebird Formula finally! When I last worked on this car and got it put back together and running, it had no brakes. I mean NO BRAKES. I never bled the brake system after taking it all apart so I'm sure there's a lot of air in there.
Normally, do really bleed the brakes thoroughly, it takes two people. But I'm using this really helpful tool called a Power Bleeder which allows me to do it all by myself, and do in like 15-20 minutes!
