Your not going to use the stock leaf spring setup are you? that would just look odd on a hot rod? ,...i was planning on putting a 4 link w/ panhard bar in it with air ride shocks?....that was my plan for the rear suspension...if you want to tackle that then go ahead...then ill figure out maybe paint and body? besides the paint may give me an exuse to use my new airbrush i hadnt used yet since getting!
