1970 RS Project by aps63

2 minute(s) of a 120 minute read

Ok, I'm want my exhaust to be black without spending a fortune getting it coated. I found this stuff that they use on professional high temp stoves and cookers like this one.



Both the primer and the paint protect up until 1200 degrees.
I figure if my exhaust is going that high, the paint coming off is the least of my problems. It is also suppose to be scratch resistant.



Worth a try, I will gladly let my exhaust be the guinea pig for this stuff.

Today I started the front brake and suspension upgrade.
Here is what I am starting with. Completely stock, good system from 1970. Just falls a little short by today's performance standards.



Standard for 1970 & standard for 2012. I love this picture.



Hope to have everything upgraded by sunday night.

Well, didn't get as much done as I had hoped today. Got all the old suspension out.



Started to cut the extra material off the old spindles to accept the Kore-3 brakes.
A little more cutting to do and then lots of grinding to make it look good.
Also drilled and tapped the old dust shield holes for the new caliper bracket.
