heres my ride

 

Hey everyone,

I have a 53 that I'm looking to bag. I'm planning on using trailing arms with bags for the rear end and would prefer not having to cut the trunk or notch the frame. If anyone has done this would you mind sharing how low you can go and what size tires you are running.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

 

new to the air ride game not sure what trailing arms are. but my cars bumper sits about 3 1/2 inches of ground body sits around 1 inch - 1 1/2 inches closer to ground.i am running under axle brackets with reinforced 4 ft bar going from one side of frame to the other bags obviously right under frame welded to bracket. only three springs....and it lays pretty dang low, without any frame modification done

 

What size tires are you using?

 

Getting ready for paint!

 

Even though I don't have bags she's pretty low. Posie rear springs, 2" lowering blocks, front coils cut 1 1/2 ring. 6.70x15 tires and no kick-up to the frame. Her body is lower 2" over the frame though.

i am using 165r15 coker classics radials

 

That's awesome. Did you cut the original cross beam down? I was laying on the ground the other day under my car just staring at the suspension thinking of a way to do that. Great job! is there a thread about this?

 

Here is at is sits today. In the process of completing my chop

 

That chop looks really well done

 

Thanks man, this is my first attempt at a chop. Schaefer on here has been giving me loads of advice and helping me tons with this. Didn't want to cut too much as its a coupe and wanted it to flow with the rest of the body of the car.

 

Beautiful chop!

 

53 you nailed that chop, it looks great!

 

Just finished the suspension, need to make a few adjustments to get it level with the rear, but you get the idea of where it will sit

 

my pile...i have it in pieces again now...build thread to come soon...

 

work in progress, eairly pic, but i like it

 

<<< mine. more in my album

 

like the car. how did you do the tail lights? stock bezels or custom metal work?

 

I seem to be drawn to these cars....

my first.... 53 (now in Reno)



My 2nd..... a 54 two ten (off to japan somewhere)



And my current daily and "family" car that also is our trailer hauler for our '62 Scotsman

 

Lee lenses with stock bezels bonded on. Thanks for the compliment

Before


After

Still needs work

 

Damn that looks good

 

Wow..... Super clean 53!!!! ^^^^^ Very nice!!

 

Sorry about what happened to it once it got into the hands of the 'psychobillies' here in Reno. Its now rattle canned flat black with broken windows and has a big dent in the rear quarter. Last time I saw it at least..

 

In my opinion, the stated facts put your Chevy a few steps above the rest.

Looks very nice.

 

Here's my '54.
