ya stupid comp froze then got called out to work lol here they are wheel adapters tuckin the rims.... gotta finish my fenders. at the moment im in a bind, cant fit the radiator and fuel cell in the back so either ima have the fuel cell realy close to the rad and weld a 90 for the pick up on the rad, or put the fuel cell in the cab which i realy dont want to...

What do you have for a fuel cell? Maybe you can lay the radiator down flat and have the fuel cell above it? Take a picture of the old engine bay so we can see what you're working with. I'm sure they both can fit somehow. That or you might have to rethink the rear sheet metal behind the seat. There's lots of space there that could be used to place the fuel cell. Just make the flooring cover the cell and you should be fine.

Thats gonna be a sweet look, more of a cal-look than mine with those wheels. Looks good. Yeah, depending on what kind of fuel cell yur runnin, thats a good idea putting it on top of the radiator.

Yup, looks awesome! Bags are cool. I always wondered about those... They dont work well for a performance application do they? It also messes with the suspention geometry as well, right? No doubt it's cool seeing one slammed on the ground like that, just cant be a course car huh? How different are they compared to hydrolics, same thing only air instead of fluid?

Hmm, not really sure about performance. I'm sure the geometry of the suspension is fine at ride height, but not so much slammed. I guess it just depends on the car make and model. Don't know about the hydro vs air. Maybe hellraiser can fill us in.

i realy wanted to hav the radiator slanted cuz i had a pregnant dogen idea but i guess i could lay it flat then push the air out the bottom.... ive got the drop spindles so ill be able to drive at any height without it throwing anything off. obviously air compresses and fluid does not, on a air ride system they usualy are made of rubber so they flex along with the air. on the other hand hydros basicly just a hydraulic like what would be on a back hoe or something, much smaller of course, so ya they ride like nuts even though you have springs that the hydros ride on so its not completely solid lol

Anything is possible. Just takes some thinking. I know you can make it happen!
The hydraulic system seems like it would suck. Air ride, not so much. After all, that's what diesels have. Just not a nice cushy stock ride. One of the reasons I did so much of a body drop. No likey the bouncy ride.
