Thanks Ben, at this point the goal is to get the car movable so I think I should be able to get away with reusing the undamaged lines. Ultimately they will all be replaced but for now it should be fine. Hoses of course will be replaced, I don't trust 50 year old rubber any day of the week.
Padgett, I've heard about the 8 lugs and I do like the sound of them. At this point I don't know if I want to keep the car completely stock or if I want to enhance the car while keeping a period look. Speaking of brake drums, it looks like someone replaced 3 of them and left an original brake drum. I'll have to get a picture, there looks to be junkyard writing on one of the drums that says 68 Catalina I believe, but 3 of the drums definitely look out of place.
