As far as management, I'm not about that pussy buy a kit ish, I pieced it all together. VU4 manifold, basic 7-switch box, two Viair 444c's, and a 5 gal "chubby" 8 port tank. Gauges are just simplistic dual needle gauges and I run a 175 psi pressure switch.

I like when people actually build their cars

best qualitieeeee pix only.. not me pictured, just homie giving me a hand

[Meeve]

Sharpie + car that will get painted? How many penises have been drawn on the car so far?

[Dremetos]

paint is done keep the sharpies lol

Is the paint that bad?

Honestly, paint is pretty minty. New front end is FBP (EM1 black) and I'm welding in new quarters though, so there goes that.

My air setup is Airlift front and rear struts. Got the fronts used from a buddy, freshly rebuilt from Airlift.

Are you running bags or air struts? Custom fab? Off she shelf parts? Pics of the bag setup? Thanks.

[Dremetos]

All bags are in. Line is run, management is set up. Only things left to do...

This picture was mid-day, much more has been completed. Painting the tank whatever color I decide to paint the car.


- Tire mount

- Drop fork install (this will be very last, they'll be shipped mid-next week, they're being fabbed as we speak)

- Reinstall seats (the rest of the interior is actually in.)

- Chop out strut towers

- Mock up the 99-00 front end, find a grille for it

- Build a gauge plate for the gauges. Utilizing the gaping hole in the dash where the pass. air bag was

- Drag the ground

- Mock up new quarters, cut things

- Paint it. We've been doodling on it with sharpies for dayyyys lol.

Almost as ready as you are to see it on air

[Sprinqer]

Man this is cool! Seems like a lot of work has gone into it just to make it low on bags lol.

[cosmo135]

WHY YOU NO CAPS

[fackinsteve]

Making good progress so far dude!

[Queef|Chief]

looking good man! i wanna see more

[Dremetos]

Management is all working, rear bags are in. Waiting on my drop forks essentially. Should be airing up and down within a couple days at the most.

[Dremetos]

IT GOT A STICKER. No idea how. "Man, you've done quite a few things to this huh?" Hahaha, sure.

Anyway, a snap of the 99-00 rear conversion. So much better without the amber.


Turned the pre-facelift front end seen here..


To this..


Also got this piece of junk installed.


A bunch of crap has showed up including my rear quarters (mine have been on lunch the past 5+ yrs.), the rear AirLift garbage, etc. Tugging the interior and fighting the rear suspension tomorrow. Also have the UCAs removed and prepared for grinding to allow for the bag clearance up front.
