Talking Need Advise

I know, I haven't been the most liked lately , but need help. Want to get my calipers powder coated over my Christmas break. Have a local place that will do them in 2 days. But, what do I do with "Miss Thing"????

And I am serious about my answer. I guess you can left out the garage if you have a secure outdoor location.

Yea get all four wheels off the ground, pull the calipers off, give them to the powdercoater, and when they come bac reassembly, bleed the brakes and off you go!

I remember seeing your car in person @ GM Nats, as nice & rare of a car it is I would put it up on jack stands & remove the calipers and take just the calipers to the shop. Do you really want to risk some shop beating on your beautiful and rare car? I wouldn't.
