Alex,
Right after posting I called Roger, the guy I bought the frame/body from and I found out he has a complete original style front suspension to fit my frame (or any original style frame- Kirkham, Shelby, etc...)
If the price is right, I might just have to go with his pieces as all I've heard is about how well the original front suspension handled. However, it also means I'm compelled to go pin drive as it is set up that way and isn't easy to change.

If it looks do-able, I'll try to share some pics and information when the time comes. I believe there is at least one other place I have heard of that makes the pieces for the original style front suspension. I'll be checking with them in a week or two when the frame is in my possession.
I also found a source for the aluminum pieces for these frames if you are interested. Let me know by e-mail and I'll try to pin the guy down on getting a set. However, his set is like the new Shelby sets- since the new Shelby continuation series comes with a fiberglass tub for the cockpit, those pieces aren't in the set and need to be fabricated separately.
Also, Grumpy has many of the original pieces for the car as well. They are in the process of setting up a web site as we speak, so many of the original pieces will be available again soon. - Bob
