Amazing build, would you mind talking a bit more about that suspension setup? specifically, where can I learn more about the "Bell / Crank" parts (yellow) and the coil over themselves?

wonderful work!

Thanks all for the kind remarks,
and having Seth on board this build has made it better than I had hoped!

To jmd, I have now twice tried to post a detailed reply and had it not post so I will try again soon.

jmd,
The rocker arm suspension does a few things in my build, packaging constraints and the rocker itself has a 1.5 to 1 ratio to extend the Bilstein coil-over travel from 4" to 6".

I have ran 944 steel arms in a earlier version of the d.c.with the shocks mounted to the stock truck location, barely works for a shock and no way with a coil-over, so needs relocating.

Seth the fabricator can build anything, so location was based on keeping the new "trunk" clear and working with the existing structure for strength.

The shocks are gas filled so they can be oriented in any position.

Most race open wheel race cars have rocker suspension for aero reasons and weight location, both c.g. and unsprung.
