          engine, suspension, brakes, exhaust work is just wow.
          you're going a different route on the calipers? do tell...

          EDIT: never mind, just realized you picked up some rebuilt calipers instead of rebuilding your own. good call

          what did you use to spray/coat the exhaust manifolds and exhaust?

              good work man. this thing is going to be clean when its done. I like your use of new hardware. the simple stuff like clean bolts make a big difference.

                    The calipers once I started on the rear had pitting on the insides; not just the piston. At that point I figured I would opt out and just get rebuilt ones all around. On the plus side I don't have to worry about cleaning or de-greasing.

                    As for the exhaust mani, just some $8 VHT "Flameproof" paint. Wanted to see how it would actually hold up worst case it'll be unbolted and powdercoated.

                    Thanks man, It'll be worth it in the long run that's my primary goal. In total agreement new hardware; even just nuts and bolts make the biggest impact tying everything together.

                            Just picked up a power sunroof motor, bracket, relay, yadda yadda....

                            If anyone has a fair condition overhead panel, vinyl condition doesn't matter much. Please PM me if your willing to sell.

                            Thanks
