That's a job to be proud of.

I'm sorry I didn't see it before, I would have done (actually, ask the dealer to do) the same.

 

Now THAT's the look of a caliper that deserves to be painted!!

I agree with Luis who said about painted stock calipers: "No offense intended, but I think it looks like your run-of-the-mill calipers, painted red, with some lettering on them".

Machined looking calipers rather than cast ones are very nice.

 

To answer a couple more questions:
1. Where's all my crap in the garage?-
I am fortunate enough to have a "three holer" garage and lots of other storage.

2. Did I use 6X6's to support the car?-
They are actually 8X8's and were used for stabilizers with a floor jack under the differential. You can't really see the floor jack under the differential in the photo very well. BTW if you've got a way to cut the timbers nice and square and the same length, they do work well as stabilizers in conjunction with other stands and a floor jack.

3. MEK is available at Home Depot.

Thanks for the feedback & Happy New Year to all.

 

VERY nice job Al! I look forward to seeing it someday.

Happy New Year!
