So, I should have listened to Craig the first time he suggested adjusting the brakes. I adjusted all the pads and found 2 that were way off. Once they were tightened I had a firm pedal. No fade. Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Now on to the dash, doors, fenders, etc. Too late for last show of the fall?

: 8 or 10 times starting in the pass rear to

: The last 5 or 6 times, I have gotten no air

: I'm a little frustrated and would appreciate
