Well, I'm using the Kirkham's car as my reference, so whatever they have done, I'll do... or replicate. The suspension will be made up of milled aluminum and brass parts and some cast metal items. The coilovers will be functional and correct with adjustable ride height, just like the real thing. The motor and gearbox will likely be made from cast metal, then machined like the real thing with miscellaneous resin, metal and plastic details all made to look the part. I have set the bar kind of high for the rest of this build, by what I've done so far, but what's the point of not doing it as right as possible. That's why I started over on the frame... what I had was okay, but nowhere near what I have now as far as accuracy goes. Thanks for the comments and for following, everybody... I have family in from out of town this weekend, so I'll not get any pics up til' Monday-Tuesday this week...
