Has anybody done this? Does anyone make a kit?

If it has torsion bars & a stub frame then that setup doesn't lend itself to easy bagging. The upper control arms are too short & there's not enough room between the spindle & the frame rail to fit a bag. So, you have to narrow the frame to make room for bags. That's why I gave up on it for my 72 Imperial.

Cool car, my cousin just bought this 300H:

Thanks, it was my stepdad George, he put a ton of cash in it.He passed away a little over a year ago. he and my mom loved it, and showed it. I did most the work for him.
A friend did the front seat and dash pad, I will post a pic later.We sent some leather (which matches perfect) to Canada, and had it stamped with the Chrysler sign, which you can see.The car has an RV cam, changed to correct four barrel, and I had the valve covers chromed (you can't buy 4 bolt after market valve covers).The air works, still R12. Everything works, and we drive it every where.Been back and forth to San Diego 2 times.The 300H is awesome. My step dad had a 61 300G when I was younger, so he wanted to do it again. I found the car in Santa Barbra about 25 years ago. We

Thanks for the info, it kind of looked that way.

I think your car looks perfect the way it sits, and the white exterior with red interior is a real eye grabber.
Thanks, I could get another 1" maybe even 2", I just thought it would look cool to drop it when it's parked.
The wheels took a few tries to get it right.Les swab was real patient with us. I didn't want to over do it.They are 17 x 7" front 18"x8". Funny, 17x8" on the rear looked funny. In person you can't tell they are different sizes.
