How do you like the ride of air suspension vs stock?

Nice seats BTW Golden!

Thanks!
I really like they way these trucks ride on air, can't wait to get this one out on her maiden voyage!
Here is the Houndstooth material I will be using for the seats.
Thanks to 70shortfleet, he was able to find what is was originally used in.
Looks like it came in a 1972 AMC Hornet or Matador..

Appreciate it, often seems to drag on, especially doing parts of a project like this that don't look like much, but take time.
Surgery is right, Since I won't be towing with this anytime soon, I'm OK with the notch, but if I change my mind down the road, I will re-think on what to do..
Looks like operator error was in play on the camera, however I did manage to save a couple shots.

Here is the completed Notches, just have to tidy up the rest of the frame rails and paint it all. (the bolt sticking down with the nut on it is where the bag cup will attach)


I went ahead and removed the tank, and here is how things look underneath


The tank is in surprisingly good condition as well.



More fun to follow..
