How much do "ABS Power Brake" charge to rebuild? Are they resleaving? If so, in stainless?

Not sure about either. They are just the only folks we (Dad and I) have ever used, and have never had any issues with them.

Gluing up homemade windshield surround.
Glued foam to windshield then glueing vinyl over the top.
Not as nice as preformed, but looks pretty good.

Me too, always wondered why they went to all the trouble putting in the extra groves

Added a few grease zerks and lubed everything. Snapped a few pics while everything is still nice and clean

Thank you John, as you well know it's an immense amount of prep work undertaken before paint or powder coating can be done. Having the frame and the bottom of the body sandblasted was one of the few projects I farmed out. It was money well spent

That roadster looks like a 45-50K roadster from the bottom side.

Re: What did you do TO or FOR your Datsun today?(Roadsters only)
Thanks for all the compliments. Wish the topside looks as good as the bottom, but since it was my first attempt at paint and body .... Well let's say none of the body shops are knocking on my door
Seriously, I think it looks pretty good for a home paint job if you don't look too hard

I also have realized that I should have spent more time on this board finding answers to my questions.

I don't know why it became so important to wash 'Kiku' yesterday. First time in three years. Had to wait for it to stop snowing and then get a bucket of warm water. Moved her to the warmer garage afterwards so I could use the shop to fix my truck.

Dropped her off at the shop. They're going to color sand, clear and add a BRE ghost stripe. Should have it back by the end of March. Can't wait
