Silver calipers look great.....didn't know that was an option for Wilwood

Ned those calipers look great

I like how you got Kyle to hold the caliper on there

"Hurry up Dad! Take the picture! I can't hold this thing!"

You should have come over and got the framing nailer then you could have made those four stands in 15 min

Rob -- I was thinking the same exact thing -- as in "how could it take a "day" to build some 2X4 crates"???

Then I remembered --- it was NED.... and he studied it for a couple hours trying to figure out how to make it just a bit more complicated...

Okay -- and the SILVER CALIPERS --- they're only silver while they're still in the box... two trips around the block -- they're a brown dusty color -- never to come clean again...

Lookin' good NED...

Very cool Ned! I like the brakes. I think you were right when you said you couldn't go wrong with either choice from Jason. Both are really nice looking wheels. I can't wait to see them on your car.

I mailed off a giant toothbrush so Ned can keep 'em clean!!

They really are great looking brakes! It's a great project in the first place!

Oh Greg...always with the jokes

It didnt take me all day....considering who I was talking to I should have been more specific.

..it took 6.265 hours on a late Sat afternoon....while it was raining outside....it was 55 degress at the time. After I did a CAD drawing and did some structural strength testing I made them by hand using a hand crafted and laser etched ceramic blade I had imported from Japan and stainless steel screws imported from Norway.......

Better ?

Geez......it only took me about 2 hours.... the only "back and forth" I did was how high to make them.

As for the caliper finnish....... I dont think it will be any worse than keeping the red calipers clean...or the wheels for that matter. My BAER calipers are that dull rough gray color and they dont get covered in brake dust at all. Nothing alittle wheel cleaner and a hose wont wash off.

And thats Monet's hand holding the caliper.....no way I would trust Kyle to hold them up

They arent exactly lite......

PERFECT RESPONSE!! I love it!

Did you monitor the relative humidity?
