Barely any Brakes

They have improved, but not to the point where I want to take it on the road. I drove it from my shop on the back of the property to the front driveway and washed it, then drove it back.

I got a new master and have decided to rebuild the drums. Currently pricing everything out.

Less common but possible, is a ballooning rubber brake line. The result of the line failing internally.

Being that you are looking at rebuilding the system, I would also replace the brake hoses, especially if they are of unknown age.

The pressure is going somewhere and without a leak that can only be a couple places.

It's bleeding back on itself (MC failure), expanding the wrong thing (ballooning a line), not expanding something enough (incorrect/worn parts and/or adjustment).

You could also have contaminated shoes.
