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. Later! Mr. Ed |
