Here are some pictures of my 73/71 Mustang Mach-1 "Phat-1" with Air ride and 18" and 20" Billet Specialties wheels.
I have been a long time member at the forum but havent been here for a while.
I had the car out for two shows this summer. Now im going to build a new frontend to it and do some more mods.

I'd like to hear about the ride quality and installation impressions of the Air Ride system? And whether is was worth the effort?

Those cars are definitely head turners. Good job on them both.

I've never really been a fan of the big-body stangs, but that car is just awesome! Great job with it, and I hope your next mods go as well as those in the past have turned out.

Very nicely done. I love the big stangs, I have a 72 coupe. The stance is great even though I am not a fan of the big wheels. I think the look is great overall. That is the great thing about this hobby. We can all build our cars to fit our desires. Good job.

I think it looks amazing! very nicely done!

I'm also interested in your take on the Air Ride System.

What's your opinion now that you have it?

You called your car a 73/71. Does that mean that it's a '73 with a '71 front on it?

The best dollars i have ever used!
I can post some pics of the install.
I have also raised some of the floor in the trunk (sylinders the bags go up in) so the bags got higger in the car, so the car would sit lower and have a better stance.

That ride belongs to a friend of mine, a real cool 65!





This car will also get Air Ride this winter.
The wheels are 17x7 and 17x8 Weld Racing Tarantula
We bought a complete set at the '06 SEMA Show were we actually attended with one of our cars! All the way from Norway
