I think it would be pretty slick if you curved the panel and the triangle core support to fender brace... if that makes sense.

I have the large two piston calipers for them in black but not the spindles. When you said that it reminded me that those modular spindles will probably pull the budnik's in too far with their backspacing.....

This link has a pic that shows the calipers I have also. Don't have any of the brake lines, the booster, or the spindles...

mine were junkyard finds.

hgs_notes · 01-19-2011, 11:58 PM

I like the panel idea, but thought it would look better if the top edge were straight and not stepped down on the corner brace. Maybe fab a new corner that is raised or just cut down the top edge of the panel, at least on the fender side. Or instead of trying to have a curved corner brace, maybe have the panels made with bends that match the corner brace.

72BlckButy · 01-20-2011, 08:26 AM

I might have asked this in the past... but have you picked a color?

i agree....IT's TOP SECRET !!!! lol, my color choice when i started this project 8 years ago was somewhat unique, now it has been played up a little so its no big secret, it will be Mercedes Silver with , Bright red interior, which is why my new steering wheel is so PERFECT... i am as giddy as a little school girl about my new wheels and steering wheel, Thanks again VA72

it is hard to tell in the pics but that is what i was doing , i had a hard bend on the radiator side and just hadnt figured out quite how to do the hard bend on the fender side, i am going to get it mocked up with metal , i am sure that will make a big difference
