I got the call from Jim with Stewart Transportation! My car is on the truck and in route. Jim was in New York today and had a little mishap (hit and run). A couple of scuffs on his truck and no concern of any damage to the cars onboard. He is headed south from New York to Florida, Texas, and then to Colorado. He should be at my place in about a week.

In the mean time, I assembled my front rotors:

Thanks wareaglescott for sharing his "inch pounds" vs. "foot pounds" lesson:

First attempt at safety wire isn't the prettiest, but should keep things from working loose:

Awesome! What part of Texas? I spent some time in San Angelo at Goodfellow Air Force Base in the mid '80s.

My Wilwoods were the last thing received. By a lot. Your safety wires look good. They're completely buried once everything is done. Congrats on your delivery. Have a great time with it.
