Ehh, I had that same surgery (ACL, PCL and a lateral meniscus at the same time) on my left knee. I was in physical torture within a week and back to work within 9 months..

Wow. Nice work so far. Those rotors really fill up the wheels.
WOW! That looks great. The calipers appear small. What I mean is, smaller than the amout of available clamping surface? Still looks awesome!

That's a good point,a 13" rotor would probably work just as well.
Work yes, but a rotor that big looks awesome behind the wheel. Maybe a bigger caliper? I no very little of available choices, so just asking. Ive got a set of cobra brakes and rotors to replace my stock gt, but im having second thoughts now after seeing them 14" rotors
Kit looks right at home on there!

Yes they are 18s.I have to grind the caliper down a bit though it is rubbing.Not much,maybe a 1/8".
I won't be able to finish install until my brake lines show up so I'm hopping to have it all done by Monday.

Were are the cam caps and are the caps letter stamped or engraved to be replaced back to its original tower?

Unfortuneatly,the seller neglected to inform me these heads were partially disassembled.I do have the caps and it appears they are numbered.Hopefully all is well when I take them to the machine shop.
Anyway I got my brake lines in.
Also got some new upper axle bushings.
These are J&M cobra brake lines.They will work but are too short to use the factory frame bracket.Ill have too mount it lower somewhere.
The FTR brackets.Almost got everything buttoned up.
