Progress Pictures for week of 10-31-2005
« on: November 07, 2005 - 09:42:53 AM »
Weather here in KC has been awesome to say the least.  I have taken full advantage by cranking on the body work.  The entire right side is about 95% ready for a final block sanding.  I have the left quarter, drivers door, deck lid, and roof left to do.  The quarter will take the most time as I have some metal work to finish up.

Are those baer brakes?  If so, were they a kit or were they pieced together?  Also what sizes are they?  Just curious.

Thank you for the comments.  I definitely am getting excited to get to the point to put the color on.  Then the real fun of getting it all together will start.  The mechanics and electrical are where my real love lies.  The body work is something I wanted to do to just be able to say "I did most of the car."  Plus, I wanted to make sure I new how it was done and no corners cut.  I am not really known to be a patient person and it is definitely a trait a body man needs.  Needless to say, this has been torture for me so far! :)  (in a fun way)

Keep up the great work!  It's going to be awesome when you're done!

Sorry for the delay on the answer for this.  I actually missed your reply.
They are Baer brakes and came as a conversion kit (sport kit).  It included the new calipers, rotors, braided lines, proprotioning valve, new master cylinder, and all the mounting hardware.  The front rotors are 12" x 1.1" and the rears are 12" x 0.81".
