Hi W,
Nice looking parts. I really like seeing things laid out like that in their relative position before they're assembled.
Keep the pictures coming!
Regards,
Alan

Yes.
I told her to vacuum the carpet extra good - because I didn't want any of her rug crap on my immaculatly pristine parts! (she made me vacuum it myself) I could buy 10 carpets for what that stuff is worth.

("And here... take this $$ and go out and buy a case of butter knives. I don't ever want to hear you whine again that I killed yet another freakin' butter knife while fixing the (X device). That thing is worth 50 butter knives!!)

It's black because he did not have the time to paint the other one yet.

One rotor is black because I'm too lazy to sandblast it again.
I didn't like it in black and did the other one in a more natural "cast" paint. I'll redo it eventually.. just not this year.
