we will be working on a coil over conversion for both the front and rear, as well as tubular upper and lower control arms to work with both the stock spindle as well as the AFX spindle (may have to change the name of the spindle to ABFGX lol ) also articulink upper and lower trailing arms for the rear.

Nice starting point
Looks like a good starting point. Are you going to focus on straight line power or corner carving handling for the resto project?
