I got the front calipers off the forum, and the rears off ebay ( i think, maybe they were both off the forum, i forget now). The speed bleeders came from speedbleeder.com i think. I've seen them at nopistons for slighly cheaper (couple dollars to the set)...

Hey man looks nice. I have standby duty this weekend so I don't know if I'll get called or not but I'll try to come out and help you do as much as I can. The brakes shouldn't take too long to bleed, and the clutch is cake. Did you get the counterweight from the auto drive plate off the crank shaft yet?

Could have rebuilt the brakes your self and saved even more money.
Yeah I was gonna say, who rebuilt your calipers?

didi u have problems taking the rotors off the hub?
on my 88 vert, I am doing the same minus the hoses, and I got the 2 screws off but the rotors will NOT come off the hub, any ideas?
my car has been on jack stand for a month :-(
I tried lightly hitting with a 3 lb hammer, no luck.
help!

Use a 10 lb hammer.
Seriously - soak it in releasing fluid and start hitting the disk (at the hub). Keep turning the disk so that you don't keep hitting the same place. Hit it hard - and if all else fails use heat.
