UPDATES on page 2
I have friday free from going anywhere until i leave saturday morning for the meet and I want to paint my Rusty a$$ drums, I need ur opinion. The new pics of the car are below, no side shots but you see my color. Two of my friends mentioned dark red for my drums and calipers this evening but i want any of your opinions!!! Should i go with a color that offsets or blends?

Nice idea! No offence intended with my comments about "inferior" brakes either, I'll choose my words more carefully in future. Black always looks best when you've got rear brake drums instead of discs/calipers.

I'm still thinking about what color for my calipers though, bronze? dark blue? red/maroon?Is your car a dark green/grey metallic? If so, maybe bronze would look best? I wouldn't worry too much about doing a rear disc conversion either for the time being. Nobody's gonna notice your drums if you've painted them black anyhow. I don't know what kind of power your car is putting out but if you don't feel its enough to justify getting a disc conversion at the moment, then don't. You mentioned in a previous post that you were doing some bodywork on your car, getting rid of the rust? maybe that should be your priority, although I have to admit, I can't see any rough bodywork anywhere in your pics! Anyway, enough of my BS, hope your knee surgery goes well!
