Yea put an old set of pads on for a quick pass and it will basically cut the contact section off the rotor leaving all the untouched areas protected and clean

Pshh. I should be finished by now but the wife doesn't like it when I spend more time with the car then her and the baby...
Carlisle is closing in so I have to really buckle down and just get stuff painted and reassembled Nd I'm good to go... I literally have everything I need to finish my planes but just not a lot of spare time. I'm going to be putting the cOntrol arms on this week and tranny mount and paint my tranny/ battery bracket and another bare spot under the hood.
