Check out over at vintagebus.com , do a search in the gallery for 'rikki james'. Hes got that peach bagged panel thats done really nice. I shot him an email a while back asking some info on the air bag set up and he didnt answer anything just basicly 'its lots of fabrication but i can do it'.. didnt really help me any..

Mr Jones makes money by doing the work for people. He has no interest in helping DIY folks

Bags are doable but you better have a clue and $ before jumping into it.

How hard was it to install. I'm considering one too.
