Last thing for today was to get the kick panels cleaned up and ready to be installed once the time comes.

Photos 252 - 254 - Calipers after cleaning.  I did have to buy new pad pins as the originals were MIA as noted in previous photo as someone had installed a nail in place of one of them in the cars past.  I will have to send these out as 2 of the 8 bores are pitted so stainless sleeves will be needed.  Note black paint still present on the rears of the calipers.

Although the weather down here in TN wasn't the best to hang out in the garage for long periods of time I was able to get a couple more items marked off the list.
