Thanks for all the great comments folks! I'd like to get rid of the front fender, but am concerned about the brake line that reaches over the tire from disc to disc. Any opinion about safety or advice about what to do? Also, the front end has been the last thing for me. Any pics of stuff you guys have done would be much appreciated. I'd love some ideas.

Also, just wanted to thank this site and everyone on it for the inspiration. Every pic and comment goes a long way in giving me ideas about what I want to do. I'm no mechanic, by any means, but this site has given me the confidence to take chances with what I love.
