I dreaded even opening the link. The name makes them sound stupider than they really are though. Doug is right, neat concept/technology.

I may also need to trim the inner lip on the front fender. I can't think of what else I would want/need to do. I want it low, but it doesn't have to sit on the frame rails. I like the idea of the air ride adjustable.

it is very tough to mini-tub a convertable (almost impossible to full size tub and keep the top) , because usually alot of the top mechanism is attached to the wheelwell. barely anybody work's on the wheelwells on a vert, that's why I think it would be really kick arse(but difficult) to stuff extra fat meats on the back.
Suspension:

Chevelle w/ Air Ride

Air Ride Kits:
http://airride.com/productinfo/controlarms_cars.asp
64-72 GM "A" Body FRONT
Includes ShockWave tubular upper and lower control arms w/cross shafts, bushings, ball joints, ShockWaves and all necessary fasteners and mounting bracketry SKW1018-LUCA $1,449.00 1- kit (Do I need 1 or 2 "kits"?)
Rear:
68-72 Includes [2]tubular upper arms, [2]lower control arms, airsprings, shocks, and all necessary fasteners and mounting bracketry ARR20801-LUCA $749.00
http://airride.com/productinfo/shockwave.asp
64-72 GM "A" body (Chevelle,etc.) includes our tubular lower control arm
SKW1018-LCA $1,049.00
SKW1018DA-LCA $1,319.00
So from what I gather, I can just replace some of my front end bushings with poly and then buy the air ride kits for the front and rear, with the arms, etc. Then there's no need for any Hotchkis stuff (maybe sway bars). On the air ride, I need a front kit, a rear kit, and a controller of some kind. Anything else?

i like this one:
Thanks, but the title to the thread is wrong. I corrected it in my post, but it didn't correct the overall thread. Mine is actually a 1971, so it won't work unfortunately.

Both got put behind properties. Several new ones this year. After closing costs, down payment, tile, and paint, the other projects got knocked back several months. I'm hoping to work on the bus over the next two months. The Cutlass is probably back to mid-late summer since the Cruiser will be between sometime. Anyone want to rent a house?
