it was pretty easy to do the brakes...only problem i had was i only had a jack and 2 jackstands..

tips i would give people. i used a wire brush that went into a drill to make sure i got all the rust off, and just took my time, you really dont have to worry about the paint settling because you can just mix it with the brush to make sure its not getting hard. so mainly just take your time and put as many coats on as you can because there is really more epoxy than it looks like.

and amy, thanks! i hope to see both of yours someday and maybe even the mustang haha

I'm just giving you a hard time on the duals! I have to say those wheels do look sweet! I know I said it before and I'll say it again, I'm liking them a heck of alot.. + painted calipers, and chevy overlays = excellent!
