Body drop
« on: March 17, 2014, 12:26:55 AM »
Has anyone done one? I am sorry in advance to
The purists but am building a car out of one that wasn't so beautiful. I am fabricating a air suspension and want it to be able to lay the pan on the ground when parked. So pondering doing a body drop over the pan not a transmission lift like some do.  Has anyone played with this before? Thanks

Note I have chopped, channelled sectioned and fabricated complete frames and suspensions over the years so yes I have all the equipment and ability.  Just wondering if anyone has done it that way before thank uou

Haven't channeled anything yet, but with bugs, buses you can drop these down to the ground with air suspension systems without having to channel the bodies.

seems a lot simpler to do the work on the pan than the body, and you'd still be limited by the stock position of the suspension when it comes to touching the ground with the pan
