Looks great! I can appreciate the amount of work that you are putting in. It sure is a lot more fun bolting on clean parts than it is removing and cleaning the old rusty greasy crappy ones.

While I don't really need new parts, that sure does make me want to go out and buy a powder coat system and make mine look that good.

great looking job, new parts are enjoyable to bolt back on. i noticed your caliper boxes were from Lonestar Caliper, thats a corvette parts rebuilder near where i live, its in Canton, Tex. , they rebuild / supply most vendors brake parts, wholesale only. but you can buy directly from them through a place called Lonestar Performance in Wills Point Tx.
they sell a lot of parts on ebay too. good luck, looks great

Removed the spare tire carrier and went at it to the diff and cleaned up the rest of the frame










Also got my PYPES system and wet sanded it with 320 then 1500 to get it smooth once its mounted ......then I'll polish it with mothers
