Who wanted to see my brake setup?

About two weeks ago one of you asked me if I had any pics of the brakes installed without wheels. I didn't but cleaning up last weekend for Goodguys I had them off so here you go.

Cliff notes....
-Buy used brakes off Corvettes.com forum
-order Kore3 mounting brackets
-take apart calipers
-file, sand and hand smooth CORVETTE and casting flash off caliper
- drop off at CNC shop for OLDSMOBILE script to be milled
-spend 6-7 hours with high heat tape and x-acto knife masking letters
-drop off at powder coater
-10-12 hours with a tiny dremel and x-acto knife cutting powder coating and tape from lettering
-assemble calipers and install on car

I have as much time and effort in these brakes as anything else on the car but its fun answering the "Wherd ja order dem from?" questions I get at shows.

Are the letters raised or depressed in the metal? I really can't tell from the pic.
