Here's where I'll show yall the Airbag installation.

Pics will be updated daily as we get more work done.

Well to start, here's what I'm using to lay body.

4- Slam Specialties RS-72 airbags
2- ViAir 450 Compressors
8- 3/8" SMC Valves
a mile of 1/2" air line
a million brass PTC 1/2" fittings
fullsize Chevy bag cups
5 Gallon 8 1/2" port tank
Dakota Digital 5 way Digital air gauge
and various other junk yet to be determined/made

Originally I wanted a 4 link in the rear, because its simply the best and safest way to bag a ride, BUT in order to do that I'd have to SEVERLY notch/re-work the body of the car to clear the upper bars. This is outta the question(for now) due to the car being a unibody CONVERTIBLE. So we(SynergyAstro) are going to monoleaf it.

We have to create a new driveshaft tunnel, as it sits now the driveshaft hits the floor about 2 feet before the axle.

We put the car on cinder blocks so that it was A) easier to get under the car B) keeps the jacks and stands free for use elsewhere and C) most importantly, when we are test fitting and cycleing the suspension we can ensure that the car will lay body and still get a jack under the car to do so and adjust components accordingly.

Here is the front bag, installed and fully compressed. We had to do some trimming of the spring pocket to ensure there was no rubbing. SynergyLincoln's 1965 Lincoln Continental

Love the lincoln. Good to see you fabing some of the stuff your self. What do you have planned for the interior? Thats horrible what happened to the paint. Maybe one day you will cath some kid doing that to a car and make up for this one. I had a somebody kick my door in at a party and I dream about the day that I catch somebody in the act. Can't anybody build a nice ride without jealous pricks vandilizing it.
