Chris I maybe albe to help you sourcing shocks and springs so you can offer a complete kit. If you are interested send me a PM.
Since posting this, I've discovered building these in the 2-car garage which shares space with my Mav, kids toys, overflow attic treasures, and a deep freeze, isnt going to happen. I sincerely hope you weren't waiting on me to proceed with your car plans. Just go paint the darn thing already. LOL
so.. you finally just decided to please them all by leaving it the way it is now? jk... PS. I vote for high metallic flaked silver! And silver looks good with everything so can be followed by whatever stripe/hood colors you like. Or no stripes and blacked out hood and tail panel would look good too.
