<snip>
I have heard only good things about Eastwood.  
</snip>

Eastwood is a very good company to work with. They ship quickly and have a good selection. I asked for a color chart and they send me a catalogue with a sticky note on the powdercoat section. Call me simple, but I thought that was nice. I tried to ask a few questions about gloss and whatnot and they're tech help people weren't too helpful. Rick Alexander recommended them to me and Rick Kelner has also used their products with sucess. Unfortunately, I moved far away from Rick A.'s powdercoating setup before I could try it out. But anyways, they get my thumbs up.

Dan

The FO is in the '79 now, but I don't know the ratios or how it =
performs. I bought the car as-is, and haven't had any real road time =
with it. Thanks,  jeff

  I have heard only good things about Eastwood.  Also, why do you want =
an FO tranny?  For performance you should almost definately go with a 4K =

    Thanks for all the responses, and no new info on the seat situation.

    I was thinking of powder coating the calipers, but as I understand =
you would
    need to rebuild the calipers afterwards. I have never rebuilt =
calipers, and
    don't know about kits and part sources. It wouldn't hurt to build =
them
    anyway, for longevity. I did see some nifty stuff here for the =
rotors, and
    they also have caliper paints.

    T%2eASP%3fA5%2e16%2e15%2e4%2e194598
    I didn't want to rattle can the calipers, as I plan on keeping this =
car for
    a very long time. And the FLAPS rattle cans say "for best results =
heat to
    400* for x hours".

    The squareness issue is just that, ABA vs 3A. I want to build a =
motor, and
    was wondering about weight between the two blocks, as weight and F/R =
balance
    is a major issue for me, and what real world differences do the =
stroke vs
    bore issues make. I will be building from scratch, so everything is =
a
    consideration, and ideas are welcome.

    A new issue is exhaust size, I want to upgrade the current stock =
size,1.6
    engine, but don't want to lose too much bottom end. I also want to =
be
    prepared for the upcoming larger engine size. I thought about 2.25 =
with a
    more restrictive muffler, for the 1.6. Later with the new engine, =
install
    new muffler, then only eating the muffler cost and not two exhausts.

    I have looked for this tranny code, with no luck, anyone enlighten =
me? "FO
    20029"

    Thanks for the time Jeff
