Although Turbopackman did not replace his steel brake lines, I would recommend it. If you read the threads about the dangers of the old brakes, it would be cheap insurance to do so. I had a line give out that I thought was good. Luckily a chain link fence was there to stop me and no one got hurt.

I didn't recommend dropping the oil pan...because I never have! Not a bad idea though...I wonder what mine looks like in there!

Also, since you are going to drive so far, pay more attention to the cooling system so you don't overheat.

A winter beater is a great idea too.
