'64 Impala Air ride and interior Project

Whats up all!!!! I posted a few months ago showing pics of my interior on my 64 impala. Well I made some more progress and just thought I would get some feedback from fellow i-clubbers. Now that my subie is pretty much until i get bigger turbo this is my project at hand.

Just got dash repainted and finished same color as car. Added dakota digitial gauges and I am in the process of installing slam specialties air bags. Here is my progress on the project so far. No i didnt paint it myself and yes I am installing air ride myself.
Check it out!!!!!

Nice.

YOu doing a notch in the back?

You need some supreme's and some thin white walls on that sucker. Ditch those ugly wheels.

dont need a notch on the impalas. they sit 3 inches off the ground stock after installing this kit. Trucks are the ones that need a notch becasue they sit high. Yeah I will be getting new rims and tires eventually. I dig these rims though. They are like old style kragars with a twist. Tires will be coming soon. Thanks for the kind words bro.

by the way supremes are waaaaay too played out. not my style. I am going for the classic muscle look. But thanks for the suggestions.

yeah I've got some firestone bags right now. 2600's and 2500's. I'm gonna do slam specialties on my caddy. Less expansion. Killer bags. Very similar set up to yours actually. One big tank 2 viar 100% compressors. Flipping the tank so the ports are on the back. Hanging it. Custom trunk. Raising the wheel wells front and rear 2 inches. big notch in the back. Should lay frame.

Got custom springs for the front and custom ubolts and spacers for the back for a 2.5 inch drop front and rear. Gonna get my leafs rebent and repainted black.

Not gonna do the frame/bags til' after summer though.

Have to get the motor back in, get the body work done, get the 2.5" lower stuff on there and roll it all summer for the show season.

Then over the winter do the frame/bags and paint. Well I might paint the roof and visor during the summer. Paint the body/interior etc over the winter when the frame is done.
