Rear Axle: Bought this big old Dana from good-old fleabay. Only cost £25 (about $35) as it had been cut out of the donor vehicle.... [IMG] But...
Front shocks. Top mounts were made from 3/16" steel plate and tie into the motor plate tubes. Bottom mounts are slightly modified Mustang SN95...
As some parts have started to arrive for the rear axle, I thought I'd better take a good look at the ladder bars. These were bought from Ebay...

What did you use for yours Steve?
