sweet idea, as for how possible it is, or how difficult... now what would be really cool is if you cut the seams and lowered the body over the chassis
like the old hotrods (called channelling i think). u must remember rear wheels are near engine and front wheels are beneath seat, making it rather
more difficult then in other cars, maybe channelling is the go?

There are two ways of doing "the switch" thing! Airbags, and Hydrolics! There are a few ppl doing the airbags and a few doing Hydros!
Fabricate this In melbourne do bags as well as Burnin Kustoms in Brisy! Both very good work, But It aint cheap! http://www.fabricatethis.com and http://www.burnincustoms.com.au
Cheers N!

With Burnin, make sure its for bags at the front and not Air Cylinders! About 4 grand is pretty right for a basic set up!
