My brother has prints to build a specific lower and upper control arm for his project, any recomendations on a machine shop who can build/weld them to the drawing specs. Its nothing out of the norm as far as control arms go, just unique to his rear engine/transaxle combo.

Thanks Rich

Far from expert advice and I should probably keep my mouth shut but if I were in a similar situation and didn't need to or couldn't have it done locally, I'd call: Schwartz,The Roadster Shop, or Art Morrison. I'm willing to bet if they were unable to help, they will know someone who can.
Best Wishes on your project.

If you're just looking for custom 4-link bars, check these guys out. I'd recommend calling and asking the lead time on a custom project first, PS:

He's building a lambo replica, he had a chassis shop build him a square tube chassis and provide some plans for other pieces, then using a c4 donor car to canabalize the drivetrain. I really wish he would have built a gm g-machine. This thing is gonna be tough for him to complete.

Thanks again for the help, I passed the info on to him so he's checking it out.
