As an x factory trained mechanic (Porsche,VW, Audi,Mazda)
and current Aircraft A&P licensed mechanic,I think I know about turning wrenches a little bit,This auto as stated before is my toy and all I was
looking for was some ideas about how to solve this problem before
I dove head down in to it. Towing it to the nearest dealer was not
my idea as to how a do it yourselfer operates.Perhaps the time will
come and I will wave the white flag but I think it is a little premature.
Thank You very much for your reply and your concern for a fellow driver
on the road is appreciated. Thanks Again Mr-tuanis........

The issue sounds like failed brake hoses acting as one way valves plus contaminated fluid.
By this point there is a 90% chance the calipers and rotors are junk.

As a new member, there is no way anyone would know your DIY level...
My concern is for you and other innocent people that may be maimed and/or killed.
Note:
The following is FYI data for the education of younger members, as to how serious the issue can be.
The car is not safe to drive on public roads, as per your description, and depending upon how the prosecutor views your credentials, the charge would be gross negligence as to amount to a willful or depraved indifference to human life, (if anyone died) Vehicular manslaughter or Murder charge in the state of Michigan.
