So I can't figure this out for the life of me. I ditched the lower cups for plates over the a-arm. I drilled a hole in the plate at a location...
I came across this PDF that helps identify the perfect shock for custom applications....
Not that I can see. And yes, I'm on the home stretch. I did not like the cup sitting in the front lower a-arm, so I made a plate. This is much...
Ryland, I think you will find this vid very useful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6n44Z4zw0o Brake conversion is the second half. They took...
Nice find, where did you pick it up? I'm from Ontario as well.
The passenger side rear would not go down all the way due to the exhaust, so I unbolted it at the header temporarily. I only took off one side...
I put everything together for a test run. I included pictures of all my brackets in this post, along with their measurements. Note, the...
This thing is on the home stretch... ran into another problem. Area in question is the front lower mount. I attached a cup to the bottom of...
I'm finally getting back to this. I went out to the garage today to put things together and ran into a problem. I fitted the brackets to the...
Let's see those rear back brackets!
Welcome from Canada. I think I've seen your car on cardomain - looking sharp.
The glass situation sucks. That car looks badass though.
I bought a rear wheel cylinder for $5-6. Check rockauto for more.

The projects been put on hold for the winter, but the weather is warming up so I'll get back on it soon. I just have to make the cups and run the...
What is the best way to go about slicing up the 5" OD tubing to make the mounting cups?
I'm currently in the process of getting it on the ground.
Welcome. You have a beautiful car. I have a Century Riviera 4-door hardtop, almost exactly like yours. I'm currently bagging my car, so...
Nice car.
Oh, I see. I have full wheel arches on my Buick, so I couldn't really visualize what you guys were talking about.
I don't think I'm following... What exactly is the problem with changing a flat on bags?
Nice shock mount relocation. Great idea.
I would go with the 2600s, but I don't think I could fit them. If you look at the pic below, the distance between both ends (where the rivets...
I'm going with an Air Lift kit from kustombuilder here on the HAMB. I'll most likely be going with Dominator 2500 bags all around, any...
Does anyone know how to get it to sit lower without dropped spindles?
It doesn't get much better than that.
I'm currently installing air suspension in my 1956 Buick. I've done lots of searching and was very grateful for those that posted their results,...
Muffler bearings, huh? Great advice. ;) I just wanted to know what was usually responsible for a high speed wobble and loose steering. I've...
