Heck yeah, would love to see the air conditioning install. I know it’s probably been done before but I like the way you tackle and explain things as you (and Jim) work your way through these projects

Yes I believe an air conditioning install would be nice.
Thanks for the series you have inspired me for my 59 Country Sedan to have an air ride setup.

The vintage air install should be the next video on this playlist.
Air the hell out gotta love it
Yes, it would be interesting to see the Vintage Air kit as I have seen a lot of them and people say they love them, but no one has shown an install. As for the air ride, not something I would do as speed bumps in Ontario are growing up everywhere.

One of the advantages of air ride is being able to get over speed bumps. Hit button 3 and the car instantly raises to a height much higher than a stock suspension.
What a nice clean setup!

Install looks great! Would have been a whole lot easier adjusting the ride height sensors of the car if it was on a 4 post hoist. But you got it done never the less!

A hoist would be great, but I think my shop is just too narrow. If I had a hoist in that spot, I couldn’t have a car parked in the space beside it.
Vintage air yes please
ac yessssss
I have a 57 Skyliner I would love to bag.

@@LGKustoms My friends used to be the single pump hop champions.... so he knows his stuff. He's old and he's done it all. The car has stock suspension up front and a triangulated four link in the back. I told him I didn't want a hopper or dancer, just a clean and comfortable dependable cruiser. I've driven it everywhere and it drives like a Cadillac. The way he designed my suspension's ride..... it's so nice. The car has never had shocks in it since it got juiced and it rides completely totally stockish comfortable..... you'd never know it's on hydraulics if I didn't specifically point it out. It's got a pumped y block, 5 speed, and stock rear. She's fun. The reason for going with hydraulics for me was adjustable stance.... some times I swap wheels and it has a different vibe. Sometimes I just prefer hydraulics over air. On this car, they're more old school. The problem with Fords when they're slammed down is that oil pan is out front exposed like a bladder. I wanted to shield it (like a GM), but honeslty I've never got around to it. If you need any hard to find parts for that car I've got a source local to me that has a warehouse of old NOS Ford parts. He is strictly 100% correct by the book. He uses ONLY old Ford catalogs and those projector screen diagrams. All his literature and cataloging is old done with oem stuff like an official old Ford dealership would have.
I also have a 1959 Ford galaxy 500 just like this one and I would love to put in right. How much something like that cost to do?
I'll take all the knowledge, please...
I'm interested AC
Great job guys! Are you running the original 14in wheels?
@LGKustoms
Жыл бұрын
Yes, they are the original 14” wheels
With the Accuair system can you adjust what the ride height is for the 1, 2, and 3 settings? Say if you want more forward rake on one setting?
@LGKustoms
Жыл бұрын
Yes you can program your own set heights. You can also control every bag individual just like with regular air ride or hydraulic systems
is there a way to make a lowered car or truck ride as good as stock
@LGKustoms
Жыл бұрын
Yes, but it involves a lot of custom work. My truck rides like stock, and is lowered 7”. Z”ing the frame is a good way to achieve this. That’s how I did my truck
Very interested to see the AC install
With a few under your belt now… what is someone looking at cost wise for a full build like this on a 4 dr 59 Galaxie?
@LGKustoms

Full build? Or full air ride install? On average most air ride set ups are around $6000 in parts and $5000-$6000 in labor
