Why did Cliff have the mix match of black and white parts. Did the black rear arms just come out at that time or were those dyed? What about the black stealth case?

I think they were the original gold bottom loaded shocks that have been hard coated this was prior to AE coming out with the newer style internal seal shocks.

The parts were a different plastic formula per some former team drivers, specifically the rear arms from 90-91 you see a bunch of the team drivers with black rear arms and black trans cases. Although they were non web reinforced arms, later the center x made the arms even more rigid yet.

Awesome thanks!! Think i will have to run lunsford turnbuckles on this until i can find the RCPS ones. And it looks as though that rear stealth tranny brace is just made out of a piece of graphite correct? If so i will need to find a piece.

It doesnt look like the one that they produced as it doesnt have the other holes drilled in it and doesn't look like it has the curved out section in the front.

ya...... i don't think it's the production piece. but, since you're not making an exact replica, i'd just use one.

Couple more small updates! Added the steering bell cranks and nose braces. Slid the universals in on the rear just to see but im going to polish them before final install. Still looking for some key items that are in the BST section.

Nice, are you going to mill a flat spot on the steering bellcrank?
