    I wanna air ride my 66 NY

    Thanks @LocuMob! I'm happy to chime in and help wherever I can. If I can help someone learn from the mistakes I made (or things I wish I had done differently), I'm game. The big thing with my build is that it's crazy slow. I'm only putting money into it as I'm able to save up for it, so it'll...

    New 1968 Newport owner - have a few questions about upgrades and mods

    It's definitely a labor of love... The biggest issue with bagging our cars is the unibody. To do it right means you're going to be adding weight (stiffeners and gussets) to take the additional stresses that the new suspension will put the unibody under. They were never designed to take what...

    Air Bag Suspension - Accuair Switchspeed - Still Under Construction...

    I did think about maybe building a trunk pan liner out of carpet and thin fiber board (like the new cars have for spare tire covers). The other thing I can do if I have to (which I'm not much of a fan of) is shim the solenoid mount and compressor mounts up. Because of how long I made my runs...

    Haha glad I'm not the only one! Once this baby's finished (someday... way out in the future...) I'm planning on turning my 95' Stroker into a tube chassis rock crawler with 2.5 ton rockwells... I've already got the build list started, it's just a matter of time now.

    Air Bag Suspension - Accuair Switchspeed - Still Under Construction...

    Thank you much! It's been a really fun project, but unfortunately it's also a very slow project. With how sentimental this car is to me, I absolutely refuse to cut corners, so that also makes it a very expensive build. I also absolutely refuse to put my family in debt to fund my habit, so that...

    Haha I've already caught some flack from other friends of mine that are purists when it comes to general automobile restoration. Don't get me wrong, I very much appreciate a pure, numbers matching, restoration, but I've always been more attracted to the clean, sleek restomods. No, my car won't...

    Air Bag Suspension - Accuair Switchspeed - Still Under Construction...

    Thank you much! I'm still deciding on what the overall trunk will look like, but there are definitely other priorities before I start on panels and such. I'm planning on doing a build thread on my center console build when I get it back in the car. Right now it's covered, but it's too cold for...

    Air Bag Suspension - Accuair Switchspeed - Still Under Construction...

    Not quite but almost... I left enough room between the tubing and the floor for carpet and possibly dynamat.

    Air Bag Suspension - Accuair Switchspeed - Still Under Construction...

    I then tacked my mounts into place, verified fitment, then burnt them in. Then came the really fun part of bending/running all of my tubing. I started with my dump lines, and ran those into the bulkheads. Next came the lines that'll actually feed/dump the air to each of my air bags. I mounted...

    Next came the actual fab in the trunk. Majority of builds that I see basically take up the entire trunk space. While that's neat, I really didn't want to take up my entire trunk, so I opted to run my tanks one on top of the other. To do that, I had to begin with a cardboard cutout that I then...

    Air Bag Suspension - Accuair Switchspeed - Still Under Construction...

    Hey Guys, I've had a few friends who've asked for updates on where I'm at with my bag suspension, so I figured I'd give a quick update (with pictures of course). So the mechanical components of the suspension have been fabbed for some time now, but I didn't have my air management system. My...
