    bag it or not

     



    Hey guys, this is my first post here, ive got a question for ya. I have been restoring my 67 Buick Skylark (pictures included) a little bit at a time. it is all classic, paint and everything. i recently rebuilt the engine and trans, and have a ford 9" rearend that im planning on installing this summer. This is a 4 door hard top with clean lines and in think it would look better a little closer to the ground. Should i airbag it, or keep it classic. would it be worth more classically restored or customly enhanced? and would i heve to cut my wheel wells out. any opionion would be greatly appretiated, and any airbag know-how

    Very nice looking car.

    Since four door cars don't have much appeal when the time comes for you to sell it you should bag it in a way that won't destroy your ability to convert it back. It can be done with bolt in parts. Ditto Dave's comments about hoops.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    I'd keep it original with it being that clean and having even original paint. It would probabyly be worth more kept completely original.
