Looks great Chuck!! Love those wheels and the red calipers stand out.
Good contrast with the pewter.

Got down to business today and installed to calipers, brackets, new pads, adjusted the parking brake on both rear wheels and lowered the suspension. These pics were taken with about 5 miles on the road so the suspension will settle some more. Man I'm tired. Hope you enjoy the pics. I'm going to get a shower and pour a scotch!! Cheers

Enjoy!
Chuck

Thanks Frank, I will eventually upgrade an all black interior with some of that same red.

Powder Coating is the way to go.
It'll hold up better in the long run.
