LoL, I get this one a lot... allow me to explain:
For my 16th birthday (a year before I even had a car...) my mom thought it was a great idea to get me some vanity plates. She has no idea what a hemi is or what the plates mean, she just knew it had been my MSN since I was about 8 years old. When I finally got a car, I didnt have the heart to tell her that the plates made no sense and i couldnt put them on, so I just bolted them up and smiled My dad might be getting a new Dodge Ram soon tho so maybe the plates will be transfered over to that vehicle.

The rear is a piece of cake. All you have to do is remove the brake drums, open up the differential, remove one bolt and 2 C-Clips, then the axles slide right out... Slide the new ones in and reverse the process, fill with fluid, and you're done. Could easily be done in under an hour.

The rotors are 11" Ford Racing, and the calipers are just stock 94/95 66mm single piston dealys... They were really rusty beforehand but I put a lot of elbow grease into them and followed it up with a shot of some high-temp paints. Sad thing is one of the calipers already needs a bit of a touch up since some brake fluid spilled onto it when bleeding and now the paint is bubbling a bit. Thanks for the comment tho! Look a lot nicer than they really are. lol
