markcharltonOld enough to know better and still young enough not to care. My '71 Pantera

Kerry,

Another thought is to hunt around for some callipers that someone has removed recently. Check with PIM and the the vendors. Guys are constantly upgrading and you may find a set for reasonable money that will be easier to rebuild than your seized units. The prices (except the calliper rebuild kits which seem very high) seem in-line with what my costs were, except that my labour was free of course. That will be your biggest area for savings along with some of the suggestions others have made. Remember that one of the great benefits of owning a Pantera is the free scraped knuckles, blood stains and pride in doing the job yourself for a small fraction of what an F-car owner pays for service.
