1971 Buick Riviera Air Suspension Installation
Hey again! We got our hands on this really nice '71 Rivi and I wanted to share the process of installing air ride onto it. These share the same basic suspension components as other GM B body cars from '71-76 - Caprice, Impala, and Cadillac RWD will all be the same setup underneath.
I LOVE how this car turned out- my preference would probably be a set of stock 15" GS wheels with skinny whitewall tires, but I like the look of the 20" billets too.
We have these kits available on our website with a bunch of options for the controls: www.twistedimages.com/71-76-Impala-B-Body_c_568.html
As always, feel free to reach out with any questions you have!

Переглядів 1,2 тис.3 місяці тому
Our friend Tony brought us another car to 'bag - this one is a really nice 1965 Cadillac convertible. Follow along as we install our Stage 2 air suspension setup. In this video we'll cover modifying the frame for air bag clearance, plumbing and wiring routing, installation of components in the trunk, and mounting our brackets and air bags in place of the factory coil springs. If you have any qu...
Body Dropped Chevy Express - Helping Rescue a Former SEMA Build
Переглядів 4,2 тис.3 місяці тому
Our good friends Tracee and Blaine scooped this van up in Arizona a few weeks ago- it had apparently been set aside and passed around for the last decade following its debut at the 2014 SEMA show in Las Vegas. Blaine is a wizard with LS engines and had it running and driving almost immediately, but it was clear that this thing hadn't been built for drivability, with the front end bouncing all o...
1962 Cadillac - Front Air Suspension Refresh
Переглядів 8264 місяці тому
This was a quick in-and-out job - the car is already on air suspension, but the owner hated how the front rode and that it didn't have enough lift. We removed the Ridetech Shockwaves that had previously been installed and replaced them with a pair of Slam Specialties SS7 'bags, KYB shocks, and our mounting bracket kit. The end result was an extra 1.5" of drop, almost 2" more lift, and a MUCH sm...
1956 Buick Roadmaster Air Suspension
Переглядів 1,2 тис.7 місяців тому
I've always liked these mid-50s Buicks- the rear wheel arch is just so different from everything else from that era, and the right set of wheels really shows it off. This one is a 4 door, which usually isn't my preference, but the lack of a B pillar almost makes you forget that it's a sedan! Overall a very cool classic car- and they're still pretty affordable. We installed our Stage 2 managemen...
1960 Cadillac Eureka Combo Hearse - 4 Link & Notch to Put it on the Ground!
Переглядів 1,4 тис.8 місяців тому
It's back! After spending a few months repairing rust and completing the body and paint work, our customer decided he's keeping this car and wanted to get the rear end lower. We were more than happy to oblige, replacing the simple 2 link/trailing arm setup we installed previously with a custom-built parallel 4 link with a watts link. Additionally, we cut out the floor and installed a frame notc...
1949 Ford Shoebox - Air Ride Inspection & 4 Link Adjustment
Переглядів 12 тис.11 місяців тому
Jake brought us his newly-purchased '49 Ford to have it looked over- he'd noticed some drivetrain vibration under certain driving conditions and just wanted everything underneath checked out. We made some adjustments to the 4 link, made sure none of the air ride system was broken or dangerous, and sent him back on his way- for now! This car is actually coming back soon for a bunch of upgrades, ...
Justin's 1965 Cadillac DeVille Convertible - Air Ride Installation
Переглядів 10 тис.11 місяців тому
Justin claims this car has only 10,500 miles... I think he may have missed a digit. Either way, it's in desperate need of some love, so let's start with the suspension! Follow along as we install a Choppin' Block front kit, along with our basic rear setup, with Slam Specialties air bags all around. We also notched the rear frame to get that extra couple of inches of drop- let me know in the com...
Road Trip! Oklahoma to California with the Bluebird Coupe
Переглядів 52111 місяців тому
1350 miles in two days? No problem! Ride along as Rick and I drag the Bluebird Coupe from the shop out to Long Beach California for the Japanese Classic Car Show (JCCS). The owner of the car hadn't seen it on the ground yet, so you'll get to see his reaction as well! This weekend was a blast- the drive home from Long Beach was a bit painful, so we'll set aside a bit more time for next year. If ...
'Bagging a 25k Mile Survivor! 1971 Datsun Bluebird SSS Coupe
Переглядів 12 тис.11 місяців тому
This time capsule was probably one of the cleanest original condition Datsun Coupes in existence, with only 41,000 km on the odometer... so you know we just had to put air ride on it! Don't worry though- we were extra careful to modify as little of the body structure as possible. No rolling the fenders, no major cutting or welding. We even ran all of the wiring and air lines through factory gro...
Introducing The Cad-amino - 1959 Cadillac Pickup
Переглядів 22 тис.Рік тому
I know- we just did a '59 Caddy a couple months ago with a truck conversion! Well, this one is the same, but different... Someone back in the 80s or 90s started this conversion using the bed and roof from a '59 Elcamino, giving it an almost factory-like profile. The work that has been performed so far looks really good, but for whatever reason the project stopped before completion- I have NO id...

Hey look- it's another Cadillac in the shop! This coupe got dropped off when the hearse was being picked up, so we dug right in and knocked this one out over the course of a week. Working on your own Caddy? Give us a call at the shop and we'll help get you set up with the right parts to put it on the ground!

Slamboree Car & Truck Show 2023 - Tulsa Oklahoma

We rolled up to Tulsa this weekend for the Slamboree show at the Osage Casino. New venue for the show this year, but Jimmie from Negative Camber has been hosting it here in Oklahoma for a loooong time. That experience pays off for everyone, because he knows how to organize everything and how to put on a great show. The weather played nice, too- just a bit of rain on the drive up, but it was sun...
Working on the Datsun 510 - Exhaust Repair and General Cleanup

With a short break between customer vehicles, I got my 2 door Datsun on the lift so I could fix an exhaust leak and check on a couple of small oil leaks. This car has been on the road since 2016, so it was overdue for some undercarriage cleanup and inspection. Got a couple shows coming up soon- hope you're enjoying your custom ride this summer too!
