So yeah. That probably has been contributing to the whole not-stopping thing.
I put a bit of brake fluid in the master cylinder, which was bone dry by the way, and it all immediately dribbled out of one of the myriad lines coming out of the horrifying block behind the gas tank.
BUT none of the calipers are seized which is a plus. The calper rotor and pads on the right side are brand new, but I'm still inclined to replace them so I have brand new brakes of the same kind all the way around.
I put the 16" slicers back on too.

I'd think that replacing the brakes on all four corners at the same time would be wise.

Midwest car? Or did it just sit for a long time?

thats a given at this point. Needs all of the brakes. Master cylinder, lines, rotors pads and calipers.

Oof! A double play.
Nice save!

Maybe. I might have to sell it since my current housing/storage arrangement is in thin ice. Doubt I'll be able to convince anyone to give it a good home since it has no brakes, a partially gutted interior and is pretty rotten. Might be crusher food unfortunately.

Ouch!
That's a damn shame.
