Default Weekend Project on the 1981 Pics.
Had to replace my master cylinder, so I thought it would be a good time to clean up and repaint the calipers while the wheels were off.



Freshly painted Master Cylinder


Bench bleeding.



Caliper Paint.

Nice work Randall. I enjoyed meeting you at the car show a couple weekends ago. Your car is immaculate ! Makes me jealous. The calipers look good with the matching car color. Good job.
