    FINALLY got to work in the garage, it was up to 0C !  ::)  Spent the afternoon and evening whittling out my hubs on the lathe today. I'm hoping tomorrow I'll get some time to drill the wheel studs and bolt holes that hold on the rotor.
    Started with two chunks of 6061 aluminum.

    Nice machining there, so where did you get the rotors?

    Thanks, rotors are standard Wilwood pieces.

    Maybe I missed it but why the new hubs? Just cause you can?

    Must have to do with the nascar side of the equation.

    Good to know, 5x5 eh I guess that makes it somewhat easier to move from platform to platform for wheels anyway.
