Nice! So give us some details. Did you go with the single circuit MC? double? What did you replace on the wheels? Just wheel cylinders? What did those shoes look like? I just re-lived all my "brake drama" through your post!
What's mounted under the dash above the parcel tray by the radio? An amp? Will we hear you coming?
Is that a fuel gauge on the left of the dash? I've got one of those crazy vacuum units, (still not hooked up), on my '59. I think some folks put an oil temp or oil pressure gauge over there. What do you have?
BTW, glad to see that "pancake" didn't end up in that engine compartment!

so its new rubber lines all my hardlines I inspected and they were in great shape. First bus Ive done brakes on and not had to replace all of them
New shoes, new german wheel cylinder up front
New single circuit master. Never had a problem with single circuit stuff
New rear shoes and cylinders new rubber lines out back as well.
Yes its a fuel guage Still need to rewire it.
Its the stock radio in the dash... there is a little red tray next to it though. The radio works great

Looks great Brad. Nice original patina . I like those "west coast" after market accessory mirrors. They look very similar to Sean's

Re: so34
Yes, those mirrors are like the ones on my '59. People have told me they are dealer aftermarket (V.O.A.) Here's one of several threads on them:
