Re: 1971 K20- project just get driveable!!

Spent a lot of time this weekend getting the rear axle components cleaned up and painted.
Got the new rotors (still masked from painting) mounted on refreshened hubs. I achieved a workout hammering the new studs in!


Finished grinding the caliper mounting plates. Trying to figure out how to mount them so the caliper is in the best position.

Option 1: more protected from debris and getting hit.





Option 2: weird positioning but good angle for ebrake and bleeder.





Think option 1 makes more sense.

Oh, and bumper backsides undercoated. Figured paint would just get chipped off, I can always shoot more of this on when it wears down.
