there are a few out there that have been done. you would replace the front spring with two link bars and two bags. do a search for it on the hamb and it will come up. there are a few kits people are selling if you want to take that route.

nice one of my favorite body styles. keep us posted on the progress

the trucks coming together nicely just a matter of time before your turning heads!

i believe that car has full air ride all the way around. the first picture would be the easiest for you to accomplish. when you split the bones you give up your original mounting point of the buggy spring. you can cut off the original mounts. since you will be not using them. most fellas just...

looks killer. are those straps aviation inspired? i ll tell you it would look sick with a roof in matching leather. (not that is doesnt look great already!) just the contrast would be....=)
