Thats cool as hell, that you can unbolt the whole rear suspension. Makes me think, what else can I use that on.
Looks nice.

I love the way it is sitting now with all of the tires tucked in and I bet it rides nice. Just a quick question does the air bag kit allow for ride height changes or is it fixed.

Yes, the kit allows for ride height changes. It depends on the number of valves in the system as to how independent the adjustability is (ie 2 valve ar 4 valve) A Couple of pics with the air ride at the highest position for the rear.   And Yes the car looks awesome! Thanks for the compliments so far! ;D |

Going down to Dayton this weekend to finish up the air ride, reduce the motor to a short block (to install on the working short that is here in Detroit and hopefully bring the car back to Detroit.
And of course pictures.

The Fasty is now in Southfield. Update: The air ride is now installed Fixed/finding air leaks Took the engine apart down to the short block and found that the bearings had seized on the crank, so having motor Number 2 built. Have to move one of the compressors, add our mini tank and move one of the solenoid blocks to the front of car because of air pressure losses. Now some pictures: Left rear air bag in car  Left Front sleeve shock  The twin compressors and 5 gal tank setup for now...  Haulin' Car   |
