After 3 weeks to do a 3 day job I`m back on the ground. I`ll drive it around some in the morning and check the ride height again and probably start pulling the rear bearings and checking rear brakes. I`d like to thank all the fine folks that have helped me thru this project with support and the loan of tools. Thanks... ya`ll know who you are..

Chuck,
Nicely done! Thanks for the photos...
What color did you paint the calipers? Porsche yellow?

Chuck,
I will also add after reading your photo comments -- in my opinion it is never a waste of time to clean (and if possible paint) parts before reinstalling. Not just for looks -- it is a lot more pleasant when you have to work on them again, for adjustments and such.

Byron: I believe all the fine folks that helped were GMCES members also. A credit to your fine leadership. Another trait I hope to learn.

Chuck,
The other day a Ferrari pulled along side at a light and I saw twin red calipers on a drilled rotor and thought "that would look good on the GMC"...
Did you use a special high temp paint on the drums? Brand/source?
Thanks,

Dennis: SEM spray can paint from a local paint supply house. $10 a can delivered to the driveway on his way home.
