Re: 62 chevy torsion bars to airbag conversion

I have a '63 clip under mine now, but I did 'bag the stock '62 clip before that. I wish I'd held onto that! So many people I have met want one! Anyway, to go low, box the stock lower comtrol arms, and add a mounting plate in the middle. depending on how low you want it, you can move it up or down about two inches, then weld it where you want it, and add gussets. Then build a top plate that bolts to the crossmember ends, and presto! If you want to lay out, cut up the crossmember ends and raise em, the amount you need. usually two inches or so. I think I cut mine about 2, or 2 1/2 inches.
