Mark, that car takes a standard M&W right rear arm, and I used a bailey RR arm and flipped it upside down for the left rear to get the offset (to clear the brake rotor) and length to work. Get a standard triple x front axle. I'm sure you can find someone local to make your bumpers and nerfs, I made my own.

The only thing to watch on that car is that all of the threaded bungs in the chassis for the suspension are 7/16"-20 and all midget components are 1/2"-20. So call Rod End Supply to get the exact rod ends you need (7/16" bore, 1/2" shank for the ends that mount to the chassis, and 1/2" bore, 1/2" shank for the suspension components) and they will take care of you.

Get 140 lb coil springs for the front, run 800/825 bars in the rear. Block it at 2-1/2 inches in the front and 3-1/2 in the rear (use a 2-1/2 block in left rear- raised rail car) and hold on tight.
