Great work!
Just a small question, did you add anything that allows you to adjust the camber and caster of the front suspension? A lot of locals here that run spaceframe type cars (kitcars, dirt track racers ect.) use very similar upper and lower arms but have adjustable endings to them to make everything adjustable.
And what's that braking disc from? You machined the center, but the disc itself?

The disc is an Brembo-disc, and the centre is my own.
Camber and Caster-adjustments.
Change the thickness of the washers to push the arm backward in relation to the lower arm.
Same procedure to change camber, put different shims behind the bracket to get different angle.

Got some inspiration yesterday and stayed at work for a little update 
Half way there
Tada!
I went well, but I had some luck! There will be tight between the rims and caliper.
But, if you remember, I can't move the brakedisc futher in.
This is two old pics of the disc and chassi

Great work!
When people look at the finished product, often they do not realize how much work is under there...
Admire your skills mate!
Hope to see more, more, more!

Ofcourse I run steelies
17" steelies makes big wheels, but still retro
Not sure about how wide they will be yet.
In the front 225/45-17" on 17x7" on the pictures, and probobly 255/40-17 on 17x9" rear.

It may just be the picture, but it doesn't look like you have enough clearance between the calliper and the rim.
If you dont have enough clearance here, when the rim flexes it will scrub on the calliper. If the rim flexes too much it can grab big chunks of the calliper destroying the calliper and the rim in the process.
If they are fairly sturdy rim, you only need a few mm clearance - but big steel rims tend to flex a fair bit ...

It's tight, but I let i be for now. Maybe I change wheel before the car is ready
