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...

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.

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

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

That will look good, as will the wheels.

[67cheby]

thank you

[Jeffs70]

those are going to look sweet on there.

[VA72C10]

You're welcome! Thanks for ending the saga for me Can't wait to see them on your truck!

Just make sure Budnik insures them when they ship them......

[67cheby]

good plan i hadnt thought of that, i think i am going to take the two front ones to a polisher (about the time the truck is ready to go) and have him polish the insides of them !!

Sounds like a plan....especially with budnik polishing the others I'm guessing they are going to be SHINY

[nastyc10]

Sweet dude! Those are gonna look good.

[67cheby]

Thanks, i am pretty pumped about them myself!!!

[colin_havens]
