contact to Dave Campbell for the delta rear shocks. the email address is [email protected]
and on the front shocks, I don't know any source for it. but the SE version has a slightly longer front shock than the first 834B. even the front shock mounts are bit different

and Dave doesn't have the aluminum shock ends at this moment but I believe you can use them from 870C shocks

Whatever tickles your pickle. Nice resto, btw.

My view is there are enough "original" builds out there, and so you're not treading new ground with an original restoration. That's not to say it isn't satisfying or you won't learn anything. It just depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If you want to preserve the history, then do an original restoration like you've done. If you want to be different, then do something different...

+1. Once you've seen one box-art resto, you've seen 'em all. :)
