Joey,
The spindles you use will determine to a large degree what your suspension piece lengths will be.
A while back, Alex Evanosky gave me some dimensions. They are in a thread from way back in the "Scratch Building" forum, I believe. Anyway, I am using Mustang II spindles for my build and I'm sure my pieces would be different from yours by a bit. The original spindles were even quite a bit different yet. You will need to determine your hub to hub distance and geometry to determine your suspension pieces' length.

Mick had a good way to do it. He laid out his wheels/tires where they had to be to clear his fenders and measured inside of wheel to inside of wheel and used that as his hub to hub distance. I did the same thing but in a slightly different way.
