So hard to keep my mouth shut on that one. I certainly wasn't going to steal your thunder--that's for sure.

I would have posted it already, but it doesn't let me post video from my device. I guess I have to load it to a third party like you tube first. Unless I am missing something?

Ok I just uploaded to you tube, took me a bit to figure out my password since I never use you tube. First drive went great, but I realized I need to adjust the garage door. After new 33 inch tires and a hard top it might not make it. Hoping I can just adjust the door a bit. The only issue so far is those damn front brakes, since half the fluid has leaked out of the cylinders they were squishy squisherton! Say that 3 times fast! Now just to finish the disk conversion. Thanks again Dan for getting her electrical sorted out.
Nice! It sounds WAY better listening to it on my computer than on my phone.
Such a nice lope at idle!

Spent some time today getting the rest of the disk swap parts ready to go. A few days ago I cleaned,blasted and painted the calipers that Dan HJ45 gave me. That turned into a bit of a waste. I cleaned,sandblasted,then sprayed them with caliper paint,however I hadn't yet removed the Pistons. Long story short... I wrecked the nice new paint job by trying to remove some stubborn Pistons. Here are a few pics.
