Hey all -

Replied, but forgot the list.  

Well, I plan on following the racer crowd (big cars).  I will use 70's Chevy
front hubs/brakes.  This way I get big vented rotors and all kinds of
aftermarket stuff cheap.  I will build tubular a-arms to connect into the
frame in the original possition.  Or, there are a ton of different sizes of
tubular a-arms for the Chevy spindle for 40 bucks each.  Just search under
suspension and look for the race car builder parts sites.

I am looking at over 300 HP, so I am getting a Ford 8.8 rear and shortening
it.  Disc brakes and again, cheap aftermarket stuff.  I will four link it in
and an designing a cheap coil-over system using JY springs and cheap gas
shocks.  

I am in the parts searching stage now.  I have to finish the roof over the
deck and deck extension before I can really get started.  Looks good on
paper:)  It will require welding, but for the cost of  Roadster ball joints
you can buy a nice MIG-gas welder.

If anyone has good/helpful ideas let me know!

Happy Roadstering!!

Phil
