Bled the brakes. They seem to work fine, and no leaks!

Park brakes are functional as well.

Exhaust is done up to the tail pipes. It's as tight to the floor as we could get it without rubbing anywhere, and the v band clamps make is super easy to remove. But it does hang a little lower than ideal. With a 3" pipes the only way to gain significant clearance would have been to modify the floor pan, and I'm not doing that now. If we were to redo the exhaust from scratch (rather than using a Pypes system), we could gain a little clearance. May do that if ground clearance is a problem that can't be resolved by adjusting ride height, or if there's an annoying drone.

At this point, the car is about ready to start up. I just need to re-make a fuel line that I accidentally crushed when I lifted the car, connect a few more wires under the dash, install the gauge bezel, and recheck everything one last time.
