Howdy gang. Been forever since I've logged in here.

What's wrong with the OE rotors? I just replaced the original Akebono pads at @98k miles and there's nothing wrong with the original rotors. Why change them at all?

The answer to that question depends....have you been combing the eastern seaboard for #5?

Nope.

Nice pics and update all around. The Salton Sea story is quite interesting especially since reading this https://finance.yahoo.com/news/gm-heralded-plant-model-electric-162746562.html just before logging in here and going through this post of yours.

Had I not modified it beyond being street legal, I'd still have it, except, the body rot at the tub's frame mounting points behind the seats would have caus...

They absolutely would charge for any additional parts not provided with a recall.

Nothing new about any of the s...
