[Roadsters] braking issue

[dave n]

early 67 roadster, hasn't been real active for the last 5 years as I've been 
restoring/renovating it.

years ago we bled the brakes after putting in new master brake cylinder and 
clutch.  it is dot 5.  please don't even discuss dot 3/4/5; that's not on 
the table.

it seems hard to brake and hard to stop.

am I right in thinking first step is to bleed the brakes?

then start looking for other issues?

I'm right in thinking these cars should stop on a dime?  not a long 20 
dollar bill . . . .
