66 caddy on bags

here is a caddy i just recently finished for a buddy of mine .
shaved trim holes
air bagged 4 corners
converted front suspension from strut arms to a-arms
...coming back to me in a week for engine driven air .

 

cool. any side pics?

 

day the owner picked it up ....his name is eric estrada .

 

To all who say this should go away, citing "irrelevance" because it's not pre-'64, I submit to you that this suspension first started being used in '61, making the undercar pics extremely relevant as examples...

thanks ... will post new pics of the car when it shows up again . with wide white walls . after it leaves the shop its going to interior than paint for coca cola red

 

Nice car.

What kind of air tank is that? I've never seen one made that way.

 

Looks great.Somethin about big cars laid out,looks sweet everytime.

 

Nice work, I'm sure the finished car will be very cool. Gary

 

I can't wait to bag my 65....

 

Gives me something to think about for my '68

 

seth that tank came from chasis tech . its a 5 gal 4 port .

 

This Eric Estrada

 

CHiPs is rad. Dig the Caddy. I think mine is low enough without bags....that and I'mm poor.

 

If you want to do my 65 CDV, I will buy all the beer and Pizza you can handle....I'm in O.C.

 

what about my electric bill and shop supplys ...and you got to get that approved by my ol'lady ....hahahaha

 

nice.

 

What about that stuff?...we're talking about ME...why you gotta make it all about you and your bills?....

I'm totally joking. I own a business (construction) have deal with people every day who don't get the whole overhead concept....

nice work on that caddy

 

low and sloww!!!!!

 

hahahaha i was gonna say the only thing i would gain from that was weight

you got something you want to slam?

 

Sharp car, sits nice.

Is that front suspension mod necessary to bag a Cadillac of this era? I have a '68 that I'd like to do in the future, I figured it'd be pretty straight forward seeing as there is coils on all 4 corners. Would like to hear more.

 

you know what i thought it was going to be straight forward too . just switch the coils for bags add lines and go ... but i ended up cutting up the rear coil cross member completely out and converting the strut arms to A-arms.
bags wouldnt fit in the coil bucket in the rear . not to were i trusted it ..i totally under bid this car .

 

p.s

but as far as the necessity of the front convert.. its not really important . i didnt like the soild bar of the front for the travel i would get ..doesnt look like it would last .. but it wasnt to hard .just make sure the new arms bushing pivots on the same plane as the stock one .. or if you want to make it really easy .. call me and i'll do it .

 

Nice job and I was definetly digging that front control arm mod...very nice work!!

 

thanks boss

 

Where did you get that air tank??

 

the air tank came from airbagit.com ....5 gallon 4 port ...$ 65 !!

when i order it it was 39 ..and they sent me a bill for 65 ...i still have yet to see my credit they promised me ... will never order from them again ..they also sent me a broken right out of the box air gauge and leaking fittings ...
