Great job, hope my boys get the bug when they're your age! I noticed your pretty close to the frame with the axle in the rear, are you planning a notch or are those bags just going to be helper springs
No, no notching will be needed. The picture that i think your talking about is the airbag install. Where the bags are fully deflated. With them all the way down, there's still a couple inches until the axle hits the bump stops Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Also the bags are for suspension. To improve ride quality as well as have the ability to drop it on the ground to give it its lowrider/cruiser style Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Speakers and rear deck panel. The speaker grate i stole out of my little brothers 1970 duster. Figured they would look better than new speaker mesh. Red balled antennas also installed And finally the giant canvas roof of a paint job has been cut and buffed! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!

So a quick update. The glue we used for the headliner didnt workout so well as it pulled out of the rear window and the front fell. So we ordered a new headliner, got my carpet at the same time and some wind lace finally! We installed the headliner but havent tucked the sides yet, we put in the back glass to hold the rear of the headliner up into place. And man what a bitch it was gettin that seal to sit right. Following that the trim went on, then our little custom b pillar trim. Can anyone name it? Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Finished tucking the headliner and installed visors and dome light. Also threw the dash in and steering column. Got some cables and wires hooked up. Waiting on some parts so that i can finish my dash assembly, spotlight, then front glass Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!

Been awhile since I've posted, mostly because of HAMB being down. But my interior is in! Carpets, seats and the rear door panels. Unfortunately i didnt take any pics for you guys to see, so my bad. But the spotlight and front glass is in as well! Been doin some small work like running airlines through my floor and mounting my air bag switch under my seat.
