        I can't say I've dealt with many vendors in the past with as good service as Blunt.

        In 20+ years in my industry I've dealt with plenty that just plain sucked!

          Put in a few hours today.

          Works a bit slow.....good for garage time though.

          e12bce1286578e7f361067a743ed2753.jpg

          Brand new everything except for rotors.

          Had to make new hard brake lines for both fronts.

          Drivers side goes from the ABS pump to the soft line.

          Passenger side I spliced up inside the engine bay.

          I'm outta brake fluid and I can't find my bleeder tubing!!!

          I'll grab some tonite.

            Looks good- rotors still have the set screws? Mine are long gone now

              Got everything buttoned up!!

              Even put my "new" fender on. 

              She looks much, much better! Handles much better as well  

              I still need to re bleed the brakes. She stops.....barely. Takes a couple pumps to stop. 

              I had a odd bearing type noise on the left rear.

              Moved that tire to the front left and the noise followed. All wheel bearings are new, must be the tire.

                Rears do, fronts don't.

                  A bit of rake. I think it looks tough.

                  Got the brakes all bled with the wife's help.

                  All 4 corners are nice and clean fluid. A few bubbles outta the passenger front.

                  Gonna call it a day and spend some time with the family!

                        yeah, love the rake. the suspension should settle a little, i would hope.

                                    Couple pics of me and my car from The Vintage last weekend. A R3V member was snapping pics as cars were rolling in.
