I'm determined to find a solution to make these Willwood calipers work. I let you know what I come up with |
I'm glad you think so...there's enough waiting involved to make it seem like it's going slow...waiting for powder coat, waiting for transmission guy, waiting for chrome, waiting for interior, waiting for O'reillys, AutoZone, or Advance to hire anyone who knows anything about anything ever.
But I have been missing your posts. I have enjoyed working on mine the same time as you. As they say misery loves company.
...one more note on the D52s (good for you for making it work BTW), mine seemed to clear when I dry fit them unloaded (after your post). I was just so scared I was going to scratch them, that I chickened out and boxed em back up and sent them back. Those bad boys aren't cheap.

What powder coating did you go with? is that 40% or 60% gloss black?
I'm taking my frame and front axle in this week along with some other parts to get powder coated

Thanks Mike....I didn't specify finish on the black and they didn't ask. Basically semi-gloss was the extent of our conversation on it. He had a bunch of other black stuff out for a Chevelle or something when I was there that looked good, and I was basically like "that'll work." I was too concerned that he was going to lose all my bits or get the colors wrong. I asked him for five different colors. We didn't lose anything, but came close...and one thing did get shot wrong. All of my black stuff is the same finish. My air cleaner, core support, frame, radiator hose, brackets, spare tire carrier, you name it...it's the same "semi-gloss". I don't know if it's 60% or what though.
