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

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...

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

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.

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

That will look good, as will the wheels.
