Its nice to build something like that
But for the buget being spent on it there must be more sensible options that can be available to go out tomorrow and still put the same smile on your face
Agree on the GAZ front components though, we always have lots of options for Bilstein cases be it something like a standard front or something more bespoke made up like these we did last month.
No matter what budget you have people will be able to advise from previous experience, be it from a standard Motorcraft unit right upto a Reiger listen to their advice and then comparing this to your budget is like a balancing act to come up with something you want, not what they want
Good luck with it all, but for the costs involved so far its going to be one expensive project
