General Discussion / Re: Help me slam my 64 Bay.

Hey Chencho,

Your an absolute legend! i need all the advice i can get. Ive been talking to another bloke who has said that just lowering it would be the better option. Ive heard the law here is you hav to be able to fit a coke can underneath anywhere of the car (thats why i wanted bags) but yeah, maybe not worth it?!?!  These links would be bloody fantastic if you hav the time.

Welcome to the forum Ryan,

Bags are possible on a Bay but as expected, are costly. You can fabricate your own or get a complete narrowed front beam that's already set-up with the air system. The rear is not so simple and will require a lot of additional work including notching the frame, building bag mounts etc... Wheel sizes are really up to preference. You can go lower with a 15 inch rim but the look of 17's tucked nicely under the fender is dope as well.

I would suggest a static drop... Lowered spindles, adjustable, narrowed front beam with horseshoe plates in the rear.  You can get pretty low with this set-up and it's by far cheaper. If you notch the frame in the rear and tub the front, you can get even lower. I'll post some links for you shortly.

« Last post by chencho on July 04, 2011, 01:33:04 PM »

Skinny wire wheels... Looks like he used those tires because the wheels were 16x4 and he wanted something narrow and low profile. However, that stance can be achieved without using bike tires. Not a lot of options with this route really. There are tons of car tire combinations out there to fit almost any wheel application thinkable.

I love this look with my whole heart!!! Its so sweet!!!

I have the opportunity to get a '71 bus like the green one for $500 . . . motor went out but thats all thats wrong with her . . . to buy or not to buy! What do you think?

Yeah, pretty sure that's not much of a decision for me. Rolling a bay for 5 bills is a no brainer. Put a motor in it for 400 and flip it for 2k if you're not down, but don't pass it up.

Picture this! I have a beautiful gravel floor and a sky blue with occasional overcast as my ceiling. PLenty of ventilation available . . . I will even rent it out, if you dont already have one yourself.

I wish I had a garage so bad.

If you can build in the gravel, you're set. Nothing harder...
