I forgot to mention we drove to 1960's Germany for the shoot.

We finished the air install just in time for a little Gengstout fun this past Saturday.

Here's a little teaser

That's one nice mockup. Looking forward to you having bagged it. It's a shame that airride isn't allowed on german streets as far as it's not stock, neither selfmade nor bought. You need paperwork for every shit you alter at/in/around/on your car.
If I'd ever move to the states, then for slamming all the classic german cars we can't slam here in germany.
I especially love your time period correctness. I'm looking forward to the result.
Great work, keep on!

thanks a lot man.
and air ride is illegal here as well, at least the state I live in here. They have pretty strict auto laws here.
So you have to tip toe around unless you're trying to get tickets.

what are you gonna do with that third spring they put in the rear end? delete it entirely, or does it even limit your travel?

I left it in there, aired out the actual perches and mounts for that spring are right up into the floor, so Im just leaving it.
It sits where I want it to, so Im definitely not cutting anything up in it.

Im trying to keep everything as original as possible for resale potential, nothing was cut out for the bag install.

Can't wait to see this thing on the ground...Keep it up man!

Looking great john! The switch box is genius keep up the good work man that's a good looking fin tail you've got.

thanks a lot guys!

finished everything up last friday night, didnt have a lot of time to post any updates.

that camera switch box turned out awesome! and the pic of it on blocks and the lift has got me really excited to see this thing.

thanks man, the switch box came together really well, it's all wired in the car now with a disconnect under the carpet and seat so I can swap out box if I ever wanted to.

Looking great!!

thanks man!

Are you running only a f/r system instead of 4 way? I have heard there can be some air sloshing while cornering like that.

Also 1/8" line for the gauges is much easier to work with IMO.

So glad to see this moving forward, you better keep this one for more than a month!

front and rear. and it's a 4000 pound land yacht, not a race car, so I'm not going to have any issues with handling haha.

And if I sell it in a month, I'll be making good money on it, so it'd be ok haha
Even though I'd love to keep it.
