Tri-tip: The tri-tip is a cut of beef from the bottom sirloin primal cut.[1] It is a small triangular muscle, usually 1.5 to 2.5 lbs. (675 to 1,150g) per side of beef. Read the rest here, or just take it from me, with a good marinade, a very tasty roast for grilling. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri-tip
In the interest of staying on topic, though, I got my rebuild kits from Zip yesterday. Will be putting the calipers together soon and posting pics of them mounted, both with and without wheels. Can't wait! (I'll size the pics small this time - noticed my original pic was converted to a link since it was too big.)
1976 Silver/Firethorn. L48, 4spd. Original 2 bolt, vortec heads, 9.4:1 CR, Speed Pro Cam: 224/224@0.050, 112 LSA, Eagle Steel Crank.

Dave, wow never heard of that............sure sounds good! Post the picks when you can. Another reminder, I did a recoat of the VHT Caliper paint after I mounted them. I used the clear, just to add a little more protection from knicks. The extra top coating will cure with the heat from using the brakes. Have fun!

Dave, I just seen that Eastwood makes a hotcoat powder finish gun that can be stepped up from 15kv to 25kv...........enabling bigger parts to be done easier. It's adjustable, the transformer setting. But of course you'll have to go out and buy a biiiiiger grill
. It's pretty cool or hot however you choose to view it.

I didn't see the clear at the parts store when I bought the VHT red caliper paint. I'll have to check around to see if I can find it.
And the powder coating kit would be awesome. Someday when I get my shop....

I'm still waiting for the caliper rebuild kits to come from Zip, then I'll actually have to rebuild and install. But when that's done (hopefully in a few weeks) I'll mount a wheel and take some pics. I'm pretty curious myself!
Dave's above response got posted as a new thread somewhere else....don't know why. I couldn't move it here like we used to be able to, so I had to do the "Quote" thing....
