yes, you will have to put a lot of time into it.

So far I've put a lot of work into it. As far as fabricating so far - for the roll pan it was pretty easy. There were only three holes in the back, I laid a 1/2" strip of fiberglass behind the bumper to give a support behind the holes for bondo. It worked out nicely.

Do you have any closer pics of the donor suspension. I just might have to get one now.

I don't have any of it right now. There's a few ways to do the suspension I want. You could always use any R/C car suspension if you modify / build a frame for it (which I will be doing). There is also this company called Hoppin' Hydros that makes adjustable suspension parts. The only problem with that company is that the switchbox is wired. Currently, I will be using the WCC Silverado's drive components and suspension for this one because it is simple, and remote. Maybe the next iteration will be different.
