Yes, and some left over.  I think I remember the instructions saying there should be enough paint for five wheels.

Yes, Calipersonline.com did the calilpers and Booster Dewey in Portland, OR did the booster. They put stainless steel sleeves in the calipers.

The car has been sitting since 1995, so she was in her 40s and 50s when she actually drove it, lol.

Apparently the lady's son also owned both a BBO and BBG AMX, one of which he drag raced.  He passed away about ten years ago and I think they sold his cars off.  I believe that the son was planning to restore his mother's car, but it never happened, and they traded it to some people in AZ who I bought it from. When I got the car, it came with some spares for the planned rebuild and also a lot of drag racing spares that apparently went to some of the other cars.

I think the son lived in Utah at the time, so anyone who bought a BBO or BBG AMX out of Utah might have one of the son's other cars.

I'm not sure what the gear ratio is.  I haven't found any markings yet and haven't taken the cover off the pumpkin to count teeth.

You don't need to remove the cover to find out the rear ratio. Just put a mark on the driveshaft and have someone turn the wheel one complete rotation while you count the number of times the driveshaft rotates.
