flamingbig10 · 01-29-2011, 01:02 AM

got some work done today sandblasted the brake shields painted them and installed them, installed the brake hoses one had a split on the exterior shield they were still under warranty at Orielly's also I was able to warranty out the brake pads some time next week I will turn them at work.
pulled the c-notchs out of my old frame

there was still brake fluid in the caliper when I went to attach the hose to caliper the fluid dripped out and stripped most of the paint, they'll look ok till I get some willwood d-52s

brake line installed just need to install the brackets

starter installed and torqued down the torque converter bolts

flamingbig10 · 01-30-2011, 10:57 PM

I got some work done today found some more rust hopefully they reproduce patch panels for this area

flamingbig10 · 01-30-2011, 11:22 PM
