I will see if my wife and son can show it at the classic this year, I wish I could be there but duty calls. I should be back home by the end of May, hopefully I can make it to one of the shows this year before I have to redeploy again.

Are the first pics that you posted with the car aired down? If not, I want to see this car layed out :twisted:

The middle pic from the first set is all air out of the bag, as for the front I will be insatlling a type1 conversion beam with airbags on it around May period but I'm still messing around with the airbag bracket undecided which one I like the most. Here are four pics with the two different set up for the rear and how the car lays out. first style (brackets) still able to drive with air out of bags
Image
Image
second style (brackets) unable to drive with all the air out of the bags wheel touches wheel well(garage was a mess)
Image
Image
just too low for me to drive if air compressor or bag go out and that measurement is with the jack holding one side up
Image
My next Type III project will lay pan because hopefully that will be a trailer baby to show off my so call rebuild skills (paint and body) so when uncle sam lets me retire I can open up a Kustom shop with a partner of mine in about 3 yrs.

Are you building your own T1 beam? I am wanting to do this swap to my Square.
