I have been adding to this project as i come across parts, I started with no plan and this is the result of it.

Im have a couple more things to add as soon as i can source the parts, HT Rear shock tower and a litesink motor plate.

Comments are welcome, Thanks

Nice clean build! It looks great. The shocks are the only aspect that seem a little off at the moment. Maybe they would fit in better with the over-all look if you take off the anodizing and polish them to match the wheels? (or switch them out with the new hard anodized -dark gray) I agree that a black litesink motor plate and Hot Trick rear shock tower would fit well with the look and the time period of the parts as well.

Are you going to paint the body?

I like the idea of the black litesink motor plate and rear HT tower too. I would keep the gold shocks...a metallic red, gold and silver paint scheme could look really sharp! For example, red and gold stripes of some shape outlined with silver pinstripes with a white background. I'm just saying that the gold could add another dimension to the overall look. Looks sweet so far.

I've never seen those suspension arms before, got more pics?

Thanks guys, The arms are Hot Trick, You can find a lot of builds on this site that use them, I have been undecided on the paint, But i like your idea vintage AE, I have to wait till the spring time to do any painting (No heat in the garage lol)

I like the red moterplate and guard! I think the gold shocks could work with a red bady, with silver and gold stripng...
