? About airide on 51 chevy

I am in the middle of baggin my 51 chevy 4 door now I have the mustang front end. Can some one post some pics with theirs bagged I have looked on here but found nothing really, also in order too lay frame do I need tunnel the drive shaft .thanks

 

You will have to cut the tunnel and most likely the rear wheel wells unless you're planning on putting some little lowrider type of wheels on it. If you haven't already swapped the rear end out for an open-drive one now would be the time.

 

i had to raise my tunnel from the rear of my front seat towards the back.. i didnt have to cut out my fender wells because im running 14's... but im not laying frame either.. mine is a couple inches off the ground.. but if anything happens like a bag going out, at least im not going to slam on the ground.. this is how mine sits all aired out. i can drive it this low too.. good luck!

 

some of mine:







mine will place the body and frame on the ground aired out:


I cut and raised the rear wheel wells in order to get it this low.

Good luck.


Post pics of your ride.


.

 

Man those are some sick rides....thanks guys what about the front end though..as for tires I am running 15 with 670/15 with 31/4 ww tires. I would like to see pics of the mustang 2 front end bagged of possible

 

Btt

 

Laying frame doesn't do that much for me. This is, IMO the perfect bag job for a '51.

 

hey thanks, appreciate that!.. heres a pic of my MII.. also a pic of how low the frame layed before i did bump stops to raise it a bit...

 

Bad Luck, great pics. That's the height I'm going for on mine too. Hope to start on the install next weekend

 

thanks! i can drive mine at that height and not rub or hit anything.. i feel safer too knowing if i lose a bag.. im not going to slam to the ground... not something i want to chance with my kids in the car! good luck with the install... post pics!

 

Thanks so much I will post pics when I can this is our first one that my brother and I are doing.right now were trying to match up axle to c-notch and figure the travel.

 

dont forget to figure out your ride height too... i set my ride height pretty low... you doing a 4-link in the rear right?

 

Yea I think so is that what you would recommend

 

i would.. thats what most of us 49-54 guys have done.. theres a bunch of threads on here with pics of 4-links.. ive got a few pics on a thread here too...

 

ill look into it.

 

I like the thought of a 2 link... so you don't have to get into the rear seat area!

 

yea i think the 2 link might be better for me.

 

For those two that like the 2 link, were you thinking trailing arms off of a chevy pickup? Or making your own? I am weighing doing gambino's 4 link and a two link off of a pickup or something like Jimenez Bros' kit.

 

I'd give my left nut for this car. It's absolutely perfect in my eyes.

 

Sorry rezqd......i already did working on right one

Well i just got off the phone with alex gambino where I ordered the kit from and he said in the kit I ordered a tri link is coming with it if I understood him correctly and also gave me some good pointers

 

Cool deal, Alex is the man!

 

Here's my chassis . Not too hard to modify the rear seat nor do the tunnel. I think a small tunnel or big , they almost end up being the sane amount of work
