I'm finally starting on my build. Heaps of issues along the way but I'm slowly sorting them. One thing I've learnt is to never buy secondhand a-arms! Bought these lonestars with "only a couple of rides on them since recond" well so so far spent $200 having a machinist tap out the ball joints (they were seized in)$150 having them repowder coated and another $120 on ball joints, brand new would of been cheaper! Ha ha oh well. Biggest issue now is tracking down parts to finish it off. I'm going with with white plastics and 89 decals and red seat etc. not as nice as some others on here but hopefully should turn out nice

I just bought some used roll arms I hope I don't run into the same problems you did. You got me scared now.. Nice looking build!

At least with Roll arms they are worth a butt load so even if you do spend a little extra you'll still save on buying new......just had my seat covered, Jason at Fourwerx makes awesome stuff!

Looks like you've got some great parts to build a foundation with. Keep us updated

Azbillet has some ressi mounts also...like 27$ plus shipping
And pep makes o e that uses the rear grab bar mounts...just make sure your bolt holes are 2" i2i. My sub frame is off an 1/8 so it wouldnt work

Yeah I got a holder that mounts to the grab bar but I think the resi line is too long to mount back there

Nice build Vroomy. Is it tough getting everything shipped to AUS? Or am I thinking of another member from down under?
