Nothing's wrong. That usually happens when cars are not driven often, and they change colors over time. Try spraying rotors next time with a stream of water, and leave it alone for a few minutes. It starts to gain a rusty tone to it.

BTW, nice '65.

Treynor, how much for the S600? I have enjoyed reading the progress of this car with the few ECU mods you have done and the incredible dragstrip performance of this vehicle.
