Disk Brakes

I finally got the uprights installed, though not completely done, however, this is a big step. I got the new spindles, rotors, calipers and hoses sorted out just last night and rough fitted together.

Look for more pictures soon.

Like a Glove…

I just had to do it. I took the new rear thunderbird seat home on sat, cleaned it up with simple green and then sprayed it down with a vinyl protectant. Then I had to get back to see how it will fit…and wouldn’t you know it…

Like a GLOVE…I cannot wait until i get some of the metal work done on this car and start to put this in…It will RULE!!!

Enjoy

Airride Parts

I ordered a bunch of parts online for my front suspension air ride setup and have been waiting patiently for them. They are finally here. Now, I need to get some more fittings to pull it all together but here it is.

5 gallon tank with 4 - 1/2 inch ports

1/4 inch air line - 100 ft

2 - Air pumps from a Buick

1 - Paddle valve with a dual needle gauge.

Installing a new Front Suspension

I decided that I would try to install a common low-rider practice of air-bags instead of springs. So follow along below and see the process.

Removing the original A-Arms, both upper and lower

Installing the lower A-Arm spacers and plates

Installing the upper and lower pieces and the A-Arms, lower bump stops, air bags before putting the newly rebuilt upright spindles.
