[Roadsters] OT air suspension suggestions

[E Scanlon]

The folks that modify some of the early 60's Chevy Impalas and the like with 
hydraulic systems to make them pop up and down and even jump would find this 
mod to be extremely easy.  I know they have to add hydraulic systems, but 
more than that, I couldn't say.

Check out Lowrider magazine for names and see where that takes you.
