Sure looks purdy Jason. I see accommodations for camber adjustment, what about caster? Shims at the inboard upper control arm mount (front to back)?

The angled shock placement - though looking good and in all aspects "classic", results in falling rate on the spring rate, pretty much opposite of what you want. Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot of ways around it unless you go with a push/pull rod system and rockers like a modern formula car set-up. Just something to be aware of (if you weren't already).
I'm guessing you've worked out the camber curves, what kind of ride height is it optimized for? Any anti-dive incorporated?

Any of the parts off the shelf except for the spindles and ball joints, like the a-arms? How much do you figure it'll cost you to build it, roughly? When I was briefly looking into this for my car I was thinking around $2.5K.
(Sorry for the 20 questions!)
Jeff
