Only problem now is my dang Girling brakes. They just do not seem to clamp down with proper force on the rotor. It requires an inordinate amount of brake pedal force to slow the car down decently. New masters, new (and softer) brake pads, brake fluid change and gallons bled through the system, and they are only marginally better than before. Only option left that I know of is to try having the calipers rebuilt, a suggestion by Cobrakiwi. But no guarantee that would fix the problem, either. But I'm done working on the car for the time being. Car season is almost over in South Dakota, and I want to enjoy this thing a little bit before the snow starts flying.
Two additional options, unless I'm missing something.

1. Buy a set of the billet aluminum repro Giirling calipers from Kirkham.
2. Buy a set of Wilwood calipers.
