thanks guys much appreciated.
Micheal, base color will be black, thats all you'll know till its done
Ted, wow thats a compliment and a half to me, thanks. The headers are solder.
Heres the bits used to make the lower a arms and front struts assembled and in place
you might also have noticed the bars that will hold the front clip in place should I be brave enough to cut it off
Pretty much all I do is scratch built, I'd love to support some of our aftermarket guys, but at the moment I just cant afford to. The little rings you see in the strut and a arm pics are crimp beads, that just happen to fit (when pressed ) into the tube I have they also fit nicely on the rod I'm using for pins and the strut its self. Really lucked out there.
