Hey Bama, I'm not upset!! Thanks for the input though!!
Yep you two had me worried, so I went out and looked and was relieved when I saw it!!! Also it's the only way to mount the lower ball joint due to the two screws that come in from the sides.

Well my '55 hasn't gotten very far. My son finished welding the passenger side foot well, and has almost finished the drivers side, I might have to finish it myself. When that's done I can pull the...
Yeah it's big but I did that to get a nice square even hole. It had several pieces scab welded in and I wanted it clean.
Hello All,
I haven't done a lot to my '55 since the last post. With all of the meds I take I have no energy to do anything!!!:???: Anyway my son (who just had his first son) came down a bit ago...
Thanks for the input Rick, I don't know if the rotors are Chevelle or not but I can't change the brackets as they are cast into the new 2" drop spindles. I've never liked the bolt on cad plated...
Hey All,
I've been wondering about this caliper stuff, my calipers are 5.5 inches between the mounting bolts so I'm guessing metric? what cars/trucks would use these ones. I was thinking '70ish...
