Front parking brake & exhaust...

 

We removed the old parking brake handle, shaft & front cable...

It had some red overspray on it (from a previous interior restoration).  We repainted the bracket the correct semi-gloss black.







The old "pawls" were worn - replaced those.

New vs. Old

Removed the old (stuck) exhaust heat riser

The exhaust bracket at the transmission was replaced with a new one.
