I have a buddy that bagged a '78 malibu. He actually runs 20" all the way around. I think it is too much tire, but it does look pretty tight. I will get ahold of him and find out whatever info you need.
if your running large wheels up front you can use an F body steering box.... the stops in the box allow less travel which helps to keep the wheels from hitting the frame....
I have a diecast model of a regal that I love the looks of. Its orange with the black GN trim on big rims and it sits on the ground. would love to duplicate that look on my car. Was just curious how much work it would be. I just read an article on air suspensions and how they are at par for performance to a custom setup (ie tubular a arms etc...). I know some people will disagree about that but I'm not going for all out performance. Just want the look and alittle bit of go to back it up in a staight line. I know there is a shop in T.O. that deals with Hyd./Bags was thinking about emailing them too.
i have a friend that is RIGHT into air bags, he has two bagged s10's and has also done quite a few around for other people. where in ontario are you? cause i can get his number and try to get you guys connected, we are in kingston ont.
London area. If you forward him my email we can chat. I'm just thinking about what to do with the car right now. First is to get it back on the road then play with it over the summer/winter. I have 3 ideas for the car: 1st is straight line perf. with a very healthy 383, cage and sticky big n littles. Then a 4" cowl hood with black paint with a hint of red met. and a black vinyl top. 2nd is bagged with 18" rims healthy 383 or 355 (have everything to build the 355 but theres no replacement for displacement), 2 1/4" cowl hood, painted 2 tone black up top and silver along the bottom with a red pinstipe between the two and a black vinyl top. 3rd is basically the same as 2 but change all the trim to gn trim (black) paint the bumpers to match the body, remove the vinyl top, and paint it a custom orange. The color is kinda like a burn't pastel orange. best way I can explain it. I'd put a good stereo in the 2nd and 3rd versions too.
when your looking for the stereo get in touch with me....I have a friend who owns a well known car stereo shop..
I am right in the middle of bagging my monte. i am trying to tuck 20"s. you need a drop spindle in the front and trim the spring cup and inner fender. the rear you need to notch the rear frame or run a bridge. the bag setup is pretty straight forward with s10 cups all the way around
Ok, the shop I dealt with went under last year. My best friend was the installer so he always treated me good. But now hes on a service counter at a car dealership.
