Help ID brake calipers
What are doing about the bleed screw?

Updating cams
New cam, I would expect new or reconditioned rocker arms. Wipe pattern will have to be checked and that might require new lash pads...

I have the same alligatoring. I hadn't decided if I was going to try to fix it. This seems like a good solution

I think the spacer goes between the hub and the rotor. So it would shift the rotor inboard

L20b Cody's Goon
So more exhaust work last weekend I can't load all the images I want to. I get an unknown server error -200 @Mike Here are the one's that did load Old next to new We couldn't get the exhaust back under the car once it was tacked up. So we cut it here and will add another Vband. It pretty much all tacked up up. Once we verify that, we will ship off the header for jet coating. The cross section on the new exhaust is 315% bigger then the stock exhaust (1.25" vs 2.5"). It'll probably be rowdy but Cody will like that

Door latch stuck

How much is too much - metal shavings in oil pan?
Bearings are usually non ferrous. I agree, debris in the pan at 800 miles isn't a good sign. I would change the oil on a shorter interval for the next couple of changes and cut the oil filter open too to see if the engine continues to make debris. Maybe it was just an anomily

Z's on BAT and other places collection
Did you all read all the comments? BaT threatened the seller with a site ban if they don't close the deal. BaT evidently has the right to add the difference if a car gets close to reserve...

Rhythmic thunking slowing to a stop from right rear
I'm not a huge fan of clamping brake lines but it shouldn't hurt them

I like the idea of swapping axle shafts side to side.

Window tint
I would tint after install. A good tint shop aught to be able to trim right at the gasket accurately enough. Also if the tint needs changing you can remove it all and replace. And also for the reasons you have expressed

That's a good plan. It is a pretty extensive list. I would be interested in your local platers contact info for the gas door locks, hatch lock buttons etc.

1971 HLS30-14938 "Lily" build
I did the same thing but then these sat for anumber of years and had gas dry out in them. So they needed cleaning and double checking. They needed very little adjustment

Question about sealants
Im not a huge fan of Amazon but they are becoming the distribution network for all businesses. That ship has sailed I think. I had that truck for another 4 or 5 years probably. The only thing i don't know is how flexible it is after it's cured

Question about sealants
