real fun job)

Bushing is new.

>* R and R pedal cluster, paint
>* R and R e-brake, paint

Yep, yep!

>* Sandblast and paint angled foot plates

Gonna have these powdercoated.  Same for cover that goes over wiring harness
on left side.

>* chip, scrape, wire wheel and POR-15 paint the floor pans 
>(this was the whole reason this all started)

POR-15 is black, correct?  I'm thinking of switching to this product.
Corroless is great but I want black, not red.

>* cut new carpet pad

Speakin' o' which, I need some recommendations for what to use.  Needs to be
a good sound absorber, water-proof, and light-weight.  Suggestions?

>* install new carpet (this took me over a month!)

Groovy.
