Made a little progress
Slow process. But man its runs great
Do you have any pics of what you have so far? Did you fab it all yourself? Can you tell what you used for bags and plates? Im going to go with a...
Yeah that's the way it goes. Got my fuel pump on then the carb went to crap. Got her done and been driving it now the brakes are suspect at best....
I honestly don't have much of a clue on how to set all these things up. I will try again this weekend thanks
Thanks for the reply. I'm finally get the tags today for the old girl and tires so I can take it for a spin
Drop spindles you say........... I keep seeing mixed reviews on those. But those wide whites are pretty sweet
Still up in the air the 20s have to see how expensive the build gets. But I got my rebuilt pump in the mail today from terrill machine. No more...
Do you know what he used to lower it and if he has the same spring rate
I like the look just really want to try and do something like this with mine
Top of fender openings where tires sit. I'm pretty sure I have sag from over the years. But no complaints here. I bought from second owner who...
I just took measurements and mine is sitting at 28 and 1/4 inches from the ground now but driver side is 1/4 inch lower

Do you have lowering springs if so what are your specs
Are these 20 inch wheels
Wish my pics would post but files are too big have a 56 special im working on
Makes sense because more than likely I'd finish it up around the summer and maybe not even drive it more than once month. But my plans are to keep...
That's not bad at all been going back and forth between this and air ride. Still having a hard time posting pictures of the car here. Thx for the...
What did you end up paying for the kit from jamco. I plan to lower my 56 special in the spring after paint, but I gotta get the pump back on from...
Hello this is actually the 3rd 50' s model buick I've owned, but the first one I've done more than just plugs and wires on. I would like to do...
What are you guys spending for a simple air suspension these. I have a 56 special I'd like to do but haven't heard back from grunion on price
Yeah by now he's probably enjoying that beast. I myself just got a call from Terrill machine, they have rebuilt my fuel pump and it's headed...
Where are we on this build? Im about to get started on a buick special
