I just learned that Fat Man Fabrications was bought by Southern Rods. I spoke to them on the phone and they are making dropped spindles and tubular control arms for '57s. Pricey but that is great news at least to me.

WHEW! Saved at the last minute then.
When I was building my Ranchero I found a pair of his dropped spindles on Ebay, a guy bought a 57 Delivery and was making a gasser out of it the spindles were laying in the back and had no use for them so I got them for a $100 at the time they were selling for $450 a pr.
Did you use them? What has been your opinion of them?
Yes they have been on my car since 2011, back then you used Granada rotors, calipers and the stock tie rod ends. The ones that are available now use GM maybe camaro parts, "I think".
I'll stick with the Granada parts. No desire for those bow-tie scrap metal parts on my quality vehicle.
