Brake pedal seems soft but I can build up and hold pressure by pumping, gets firm at the very end of pedal travel - I tried to adjust the linkage a little but I am not sure it has made any difference.

Flush your brake lines with new fluid. ATE Super Blue (or the Amber equivalent) is the best bang for the buck high performance fluid.

After much waiting my car came back from the restoration shop on Friday. Since the body work and mechanical fixes have been professionally redone the car is now in a restored stock condition - only upgrades are wheels and tires. Mild collision damage is now undetectable. Chrome is all replated. Exhaust has been stripped and coated. Headliner replaced with original-like material. Chrome was all replated. Body was taken to bare metal and painted glass out with Rosso Corsa from the Ferrari palette of the PPG catalog (I don't care for the original red so it was changed very slightly). Front and rear trunk completely redone. I still need center caps, a radio repair, window switches, and a front badge (shop lost it in the resto). Otherwise it is complete - for now. Thanks for everyone's help to this point.
