My 72 burb finally getting air ride

After many years and lots of vehicles to pick from, I decided to get air ride installed on my 72 Burb. Jason Vannatta (Vannatta Fabrications) in La Monte, MO is doing the work. We just picked up a friend's 56 Bel Air from him and he did awesome work!! Hopefully I can get some updated pics and info in the upcoming weeks. I am in line, he is a busy guy. Pretty excited.......

Re: My 72 burb finally getting air ride

Picked up the Burb this past Saturday and WOW...it is awesome. Jason did a great job on the custom install. Decided to go with a 3" mini notch in the rear, glad I did. The Burb rides better and is awful cool hearing those valves when you air it down. He posted a video on our FB page a few days back.

The underhood and engine bay aluminum panels he made are amazing as well. Really cleaned up the look under my hood along with the aluminum hinges that were installed. I'll try to upload some pics today if I get a chance.
