Default Brake issues

Hey guys my camaro is about ready to get back on the road so I bled the brakes. Before I had no brakes and now the front brakes work well but for some reason I have no rear brakes. Any ideas?

Possibly the "self adjusters" are rusted stiff and aren't self adjusting any more. That will leave you with too much brake shoe travel as they wear down, and the shoes won't be able to grab the drum. Or, maybe the wheel cylinders are shot. You need to do some digging beneath the drums to explore.

not sure what year your car is, if it has rear drum brakes then i agree that you should check adjustment and go from there, if it has rear disc i would say check lines and calipers, you could have a pinched line or a frozen caliper.
