God bless you.  To lose everything is terrible, It is surely a treat to find something like that after a tragedy.  Specially in such good shape!

You can always re-appropriate parts from other kits.  Sway bars make good fabrication parts.

Honestly though, brass rod is your best bet.  Wire clothes hangers are usually a good source, but tend to be a bit thick for control arms/4 links.

I find some of the most useful stuff when I'm not looking for specific things.  Go rummage through a thrift store.

I recall a writeup in Blueprinter Magazine way back when...may have been SAE, I can't remember, it's been 25 years ago, anyway, they had a writeup on doing a pirate map paint job on a snap tite chevy that was really trick.  They were highlighting the use of a quill pen to do the pinstriping.  The end result was a GEORGEOUS pirate map themed truck.  I'll try and find it tonight when I get home.
