Decided to change the front pads with a new set that I had sitting around for 2 year and paint the calipers while I was at it.
Here is the front,


And the rear,

The alternator and bracket,




And here are some misc pictures.
Fuel setup,




And the exhaust.

 

Looking good. Makes me want to do my calipers now too! Not too sure about the bracket- looks half finished

 

Thanks.
Bracket was a quickie, just wanted to see how it would turn out.
I also polished the alternator fan somewhat. I need lower grit paper. Was using 1000grit since that is all I had, and it just didn't get into the metal enough. Maybe some 600 or 400 and then finish up with the 1000. Does that sound right?

 

Yeah start real low and work up. Be interested in seeing the results having just spent 5 hours per wheel on the IROC

 

Ok.

I think I may do the waterpump as well. I may as well just do any part that is exposed and is aluminum.

 

Wow you must have some spare time I'm just jealous as being Married with kid has killed any time spare really!

Ciao

 

Looking good Zepher.

 

I seem to have plenty of time, I just don't seem to use it to it's fullest. I figure that since it's down, I should do as much to it as I can because when it is running again, I am just going to drive and drive and drive. It's been 12 months since I last drove it.

 

*** I love those wheels.

Nice job on the polishing.

 

show us the fine young ladies

Oh what is your beer to car work ratio, 6 to 1 seems to be the norm for me

LT1 looks right at home, watch the overspray and keep up the good work

 

What kind of fuel setup is that? and where did you get it? Does it help in any way?
oh...calipers look real good.

 

looks really nice. in time comes good results. and u got them! except the alternator. but hey

 

that wireing looks like a real headach....

 

OH MY ***! LOOK AT THAT MESS OF WIRES!!!!
better you than me...

good luck...

 

My car was originally carbed and when I went with TPI I didn't want to drop the gas tank so we installed a Holley 230lph/45psi in-line fuel pump. I was going to go with all braided lines with AN connectors, but I don't know yet if I can get adaptors for that pump. I have an adaptor that will fit the feed end, but the o-ring doesn't seat properly and I don't want a fuel leak.
I am going to go with braided -6AN lines from the hardlines on the front of the car up to the fuel rail on the motor though.

I got the pump from Summit 2 years ago, it was $143 back then.

 

nice job, i think i may paint my calipers black come next brake job.
