    Is there a thread that shows pictures and talks about how to install air bags on a 1949-1952 chevy coupe??
    I have decided to go with airbags instead of a static drop to achieve a lower stance.
    thanks for any help. I have included two pictures of my car I took the wheels off for the second picture to see how it would look lowered.
    so please help me accomplish this mostly by myself I will post pictures of my progress as I go along.
    I'm su re i will have questions as i go along.

    Cut 2 coils up front & dearch the springs. That's too nice a car to butcher underneath

    I agree, it's too nice of a car. But, some lowering blocks in the rear, and 53-54 front uprights will drop it 1- 1 1/2 inches. Then some smaller diameter wheels/tires. Wish my 51 Bus Coupe looked that good! But, it's your car.

    Cut it. The museums are full, or you would not have been able to buy this one.
