uhh you buying them for Geoff? I want something

I take it you were his consultant or something!

I assume the Geoff comment was because he said something about getting those for the 82? And that these can only be for the 67 or Formy, and I think the 67 has drums? (although it stops like it has a chute!)

Im gonna go out on a limb and assume they're for your disc swap for the 67.

Why not drilled or slotted rotors?

Well they could fit the Formy ?

-OR- the Z71 ? -OR- the rs

But I don't think the TS125R, FZ1 or BANSHEE

I say powder coat, except what about the rubber pieces? My paint needs to be touched up

Powder coat!! The high heat paint dulls over time. Also be carefull with the rubber boots. I tore one and there were only something like 6 of them in the country. It took gm a while to get me one!!

The piston boots / seals were all TIP TOP, But one of the slide pins must have been vice gripped at some time, and the boot was torn ...

Got a new pin from NAPA (2 actually), and the boot "kit" (4) is on the way ... 2 weeks !

This is pretty close to what I'm going to do:

Sweet. I like it. I made the mistake when I powdercoated mine, of not putting a clear coat on after the powder coat. It's a clear powdercoat that makes the powdercoat look amazing!!

Started cleaning up the caliper castings, ALMOST have the "ridge" removed from this one

YES ! it is, BUT since he is horrible at returning PM's ... I'll be doing the PC myself

WOW only 3 months since I've worked on this (SUMMER !

) ...

Ordered two colors of P/C Ultra Chrome for the brackets, and Wet Black for the Calipers. Also high temp tape, and rubber plugs

Really nothing to do with the brakes, BUT I added the rs front grille emblem this weekend, I've never run one because of my LOVE of the B of D Camaro, But I thought I might as well have one as a take on / off option

The Sad · « **Reply #20 on:** August 28, 2011, 10:13:10 pm »

Hmmm... I think take back off

I LOVE the '7 the way it was.

BumpaD_Z28 · « **Reply #21 on:** November 16, 2011, 03:08:44 pm »

PROGRESS !

1 of 2 Caliper carriers powder coated

Then the calipers next (GLOSS black

)

Interested in seeing how it turns out. Kinda makes me wish I kept my drum brake spindles so I could do the same on my Nova.

The Sad · « **Reply #23 on:** November 16, 2011, 06:10:06 pm »

Looking good!

GeoffWhite · « **Reply #24 on:** November 18, 2011, 06:09:59 pm »

beautifull. Powder coating is pretty fun I think. Some day if I ever get a shop, I will have powder coating stuff. I have a bunch of powder, just no where to use it! LOL!
