The pressure bleed is the ONLY way to go, especially working alone.
What did you use for a pump?
Can't wait to see photos.

Subject: IML: Got my new car today!
Against the better judgement of my fiancial advisor, I proceeded to
purchase my new 1964 today. I say new because that's what it is!
27k on the clock and stored inside the entire time.
I redid the belts, wheel cylinders, soft brake lines, and power steering
hoses today. I'll go after the radiator & heater hoses tomorrow and
do a light polish with the polisher. There are a few scratches on the
car, but otherwise it is immaculate. The BF Goodrich tires that I bought
2 years ago for the 1960 project are now on the car and look dynamite.
Handle well too.
I got a chance to drive the car tonight, and it was a real dream.
Anybody that claims the 4 drums don't work well is all wet. Those things
really grab! The car is virtually silent and felt really
luxurious. It reminded me yet again why I feel so strongly that these
are magnificent cars.
Dick B, or Kerry or ?? suggested installing a tire air vlave into the
brake master cylinder cap to allow one to force the brake fluid
through the system, and I tried this today. It worked so well that it
will become my standard method for replacing fluid in brake lines from now
on!
Photos and story on the way.
