Thanks for taking care of that Steve!! :cheers: :thumbsup:

Sorry it took so long with the events and Christmas... just bad timing.

Big thanks to Wilwood for swapping out your old brake kit for the new one. They certainly didn't have to and show great CS on thier part.

We sent them over... but I can't remember.. lol

I just know if I guess I will be wrong.. I will look it up.

The new sheet metal came from Classic Industries (thanks to Camaro Performers!)...I think it's Goodmark...but Pete will have to confirm.

Tony, you need to get a blown up shot of the car with all the parts lade out to hank in the garage. That's a cool shot.

DRJDVM's '69 01-16-2009 11:10 PM

I kinda expect all the parts to start moving across the floor like a "stop animation" film and the car start to assemble right before your eyes....

Musclerodz 01-16-2009 11:18 PM

Cool pic. Are you running tall or short ATS spindles?

Yesterday Chuck Vranas came in and we did the front sub frame and sheet metal assembly and started on the quarter panels for some up coming tech.We are scheduled to finish the tech on the quarters on Saturday the 31.
After that KARMA should be ready for some new body work and paint

They are coated and I believe the pad area wears off once used....haven't actually seen any after use yet....maybe Frank has some pics?

Really excited to have them! Thanks again Steve! :cheers:

Coating wears off were the pad hits the rotor
