Don't try this at home (unless you are BarryK)

[firstgear]

This is not something for guys to try on mothers day or really any day of the week (unless you are BarryK, then you can bake out powder coated parts in the oven). Sharon got into helping this weekend with the car, she is painting the calipers RED with caliper paint by Duplicolor.

These are the REAR calipers....she is painting them at the dining room table! NO GUY can get away with doing this. But she is a good sport and that was the easiest place for her to do it!

She is going to do the front calipers some time this week. I need to travel for business a few days so she can have time to attack the front ones in the garage. We decided that since they were alreay mounted to the front wheel and spindle it was just easier to do it on the frame.

I don't know what I would do without her.....she is a big time KEEPER!!!

While I was out under the car, my wife Linda was in the dining room at the expensive and antique dining table cleaning the chrome air cleaner housing and than the center caps and trim rings from the ralley wheels (from the '78).

and no, Linda didn't complain at all when i baked the exhaust manifolds in the oven after coating them.......... or when I ran a dishwasher load of parts to clean them.

looks like your wife and mine are keepers

My wife is also, shall I say , VERY understanding. From Corvette/ antique auto parts to Harley Davidson engine re-rings she puts up with a lot in the house.
