Got the ones on the left. They have less lift but will clear the frame. So far I got $450.00  into it. Should be done at around $500.00. I'll post more pics when I get it done. This is my 1st time with air ride too, so will see how it goes.

Couple of shitty pics. one at ride height and one aired out. Ride height is about one inch lower that before. Going to get smaller tires for the rear, should bring it down one or two more inches.

I like it!  It should give it a little more "kustom" and a little less "hot rod"!

Thanks guys.

I hope to have a lot more kustom, 53 chevy dash, skirts, different headlight treatment, rechop the top, `41 stude tailights, door and deck lid gaps closer, and maybe a few more things.

It's lookin good!  I never realized it must have set pretty high before.

What kind of tires are you looking for?  I've got 4 DBClassics 195/65R15s (I know - they're radials.) with 12,000 miles on them.  Whitewalls are not perfect on two, but other two are good. Long story - they're off the PT.  Got four new ones I'll mount in a month or so.

Fantastic!  I was going to give you a hard time about you should put skirts on it and didn't.

It'll look pretty nice..... for a Chevy, then. :wink:  :lol:
