Would you mind takng a better pic of how the brackets mount to the adapter bracket Kev. If you could also measure between the bolt centers of the threaded holes for the caliper/brake pad bracket that would be really helpful. Thanks.:)

looking good. the thing about theses projects if your doing it yourself is when you get something done it feel's good doesn't it.keep up the good work.
 
The suprising thing is he's in Germany and can get this done.:) There's a bunch of guys on the board that would've given up by now and still wouldn't have had a clue.;) Nice work Kevin.:cool:
 
yesterday I started with bending some cunifer brake lines

and finally I ordered my set of wheels :D

Showwheels Streeter 20x8.5 20x10 custom black and polished lips

as soon the wheels arrive I finally can start with all body work..
 
Looks like a combo of tools and skills Kev. The cheap tools work fine for soft tubing but the steel lines need a good tool to work right. You also might see if there's a "how to" video on youtube that can give you a better idea of how to do it.:)
 
practice makes it perfect. I finally made some nice double flares on the cunifer brake lines :)

I just ordered one 285-30-20 falken FK-453 tire for test fitting my rear 20x10 rims. can't wait to receive the rims :)
