Thumbs up Finally working on my T Type

Welp, the carb on my AMX took a dump, so I'm using the down time to finally rebuild my T Type's front end. I'm adding quite a few pieces that should give it some pretty awesome handling. Parts being added are:
Westin 2 inch dropped spindles from a 2nd gen Camaro. The spindles are taller than the stock ones, which gives better front end geometry. Braking will be upgraded w/ cross drilled rotors and Hawk brake pads. Suspension wise, I'm going with Pole Position tubular upper control arms with solid bushings, Spohn chrome moly tubular lower control arms with poly bushings, Howe precision "Nascar" spec ball joints, QA-1 coil over shocks, "anti bumpsteer" shafts w/ outer rod ends to replace the conventional tie rod ends, a Flaming River 12-1 quick ratio steering box, a carbon fiber drive shaft, a Hellwig front sway bar and Roh wheels with BFG Comp T/A tires. Once I'm through with all the rebuilding I will be off to my brother's shop, where it will all get dialed in on his alignment rack. It should be fun running down ricer and Euro crap in a 20 year old "turbo box car."
