Recommendations needed for 2nd gen f-body

[Doug1]

I am looking to build a serious g machine that will be worth of magazine coverage. It will be different than most in that it will be a Pontiac powered Trans Am. I already have the engine being built and polished. That alone is $20K. I wanted to keep a somewhat original look by retaining the shaker which is why I had the aftermarket block based Pontiac motor built. It has already been dyno'd at 700+HP and 750 ft. lbs. of torque on pump gas. I am not going to go with forced induction at this point since I already have a good bit of horsepower and want to keep the shaker functional. The engine can be coverted easily with some dished pistons and a different cam if I decide to loose the shaker dow the road.

So I have spoken with DSE to look at buying a complete assembled front subframe and rear in with their ford 9 inch rear and quadra links setup. Vintage Air system with all braided lines and polished compressor. Another $20K+ for that. I understand that it is one of the best out there if not the best out there. I want it to look great as well as perform. I want to be able to use a 10 inch tire up front and 12 inch wide out back and the DSE setup will allow that. (I'm also installing their mini-tubs)

The car is a T-Top car so I need a nice roll bar setup that will still look nice with the tops out and to go with the interior which will be custom. I am considering the Tiger Cage from RideTech but it is not certified by any of the sanctioning bodies so that is a big concern.

I am ready to pull the trigger on the suspension parts now. I need to source a complete stainless steel oval exhausts because I want to keep this thing low.

Any recommendations on improving this project will be appreciated.
