Re: Dom's 66 Coronet 500

Similar to my Charger- why is the driver's side floorpan always worse than the passenger's ? I've got an AMD driver's side floor panel and I'm just using the front portion; it's all good at the back and around the crossmember.

Front Calipers

I'm rebuilding a '70 Charger R/T and the front calipers seem beyond redemption.
