Airbag System's Keeewwll Too !!! 🤗🤗🤗,
God Bless All.
Good work you explain how to do things very good
GGGGGGGRRR88T STUFF !!! @ ... .. . WAY KOOL !!! ... .. .
Man that thing is wicked! Carry on!
Looking good man
Enjoying your channel, from the central valley of California. Impressed with how well you're able to communicate your skills with you're fans and students. Loving your vision of H&B.
Wow, you are doing some cool stuff. I am motivated to comment though with criticism. As a Mechanical Engineer, I don't like to see the top of the airbag squished on one side due to the pivoting arm. I think you should have a hinged plate at the top to keep the airbag top horizontal while the arm tilts. The airbags will last a lot longer. Just my humble opinion!
Thanks! A hinged plate at the top would definitely be a better design but the the gain in life span VS the amount of work to build it isn't worth it to me.
@@HardCoreFab the life span of the bag will significantly be decreased while being stressed like that under load and constant fluctuations in road conditions. All the time put into fabricating arms, yet no time to fabricate smooth reliable function. Bit contradictory in my opinion. Please rethink the cringy working angles.

Yahoo you listened to me , I think, your helper is there with you . Now get him some safety glasses and ear plugs and your off.
I always mention safety boots t you all. Keep up the great show.
I like your straight forward personality! That project is awesome thanks for sharing!
totally awesome build and video thanks.
Great choice on the wheels and tires! I can’t wait for the next video..
Man the dimple look arms are wicked...you one of a kind fab man👍👍👍
Thanks Tony for showing us the progress, from Buffalo NY . Hookers & Blow awesome build!
Now that’s unique building of a four link air ride front end, made perfect 👍🏽
Going good!
looks good . thanks for the info. see you got you some spacers.
Hey Tony
You do some really nice work.
Taking time to show the assembly of the cantilever arms should be helping others to do a better job on their own work.
paying attention to detales like that makes all the differance in a hot rod or a hack rod !
Taking pride in your ride starts with design and carries through in every step of the build.
As you mentioned, even the grit of the flap disc makes for a better finish and shows your pride in craftsmanship.
Can crush was funny. Good info even though unlikely to ever need it, but I like knowing how things go together. A show of only a finished product leaves so much unsaid. Very enjoyable channel referred by Make it Kustom.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Fantastic 👍
Sweet! Enjoyed watching it going together! You are amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
WOW. That is one trick can crusher. Nobody else has one like it. Enjoy
Thanks for taking the time to mentioning me. Love your channel
No problem 👍
Awesome system! Looking great!
Thanks!
Good stuff!!!! This is exactly what I've been looking for my build. Thank you for the tutorial. 👍
Glad I could help
Awesome work my friend!!!! She's coming along great!!!
Man, You Nailed It! Anyone that is thinking about doing this, Skip To 22:00 and forget about the pop can. Watch the Front Mounts! The caster angle doesn't change a single degree as she comes down! I've seen sooOOooo many of these done wrong in this & it leads to the dreaded "Death Wobble". Great job brother, I bet this thing drives like a dream (at any height) with that set up.
Thank you!
loving the build. on my RWD rsx i actually used a weldin bung to attach my rear subframe. i think they would be amazing for your airbags
Looks great
Great job. It's coming along nicely 👍👍🇨🇱
Thanks 👍
Cool build , looks great
YES! Please Another video regarding the cantilever arm design.
Great video!!
Great work Anthony! Man, that "computer torch" of yours sure does save a lot of time and work! Jealous of that thing...😄
Yes it does! There is about 30 hours of metal work in this video. Without it it would be over a hundred!
Man that again is fricken genius! Love watching your work!! DAAAAMN JUST DAAAMN!
Thanks again!
You are such a craftsman. Hi from Bremerton Washington
Thank you!
build is coming along nicely - some sweet welding for sure!
Thanks 👍
Liking the progress on th hooker!
It looks awesome
Great work all around! I like your style!
Really nice work.
Hookers and Blow.........freaking awesome!!
G'day, only just found you guys & I really like the way you think. That is a crazy suspension & I like it.
I really enjoy your show, the only bad part is waiting for the next episode ..
Awesome!!!
I hate it when I’m out of cans 👍😎👍. Thanks for the inspiration
I hope you got the calculations right. The weight of the engine and tranny and all that leverage is going to be a lot of force on that airbag.
Unless it's a mid or rear engine... It's off...
Those bags are not designed for 7-8k pound 4/1 ratio assuming the front is going to weigh 1750-to 2000 pounds
@@roodgeregeld
Yup
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Awesome awesome, Anthony, that was a sweet video
Glad you enjoyed it
@@HardCoreFab 👍👍
Awsome work. I have Impractical Customs and have done many cantilever setups and just food for thought, this will work but the angle of the bag will cause premature failure due to wear. Ideally you want the bag straight up and down
yeeper
Man this is so sick!
Awesome work man
Thanks!
So bad ass! I'm thinking of doing something like that with my f100.
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙌🙏
Glad you enjoyed it
Good job but how your bags set with it dropped everything is level off. You should have made your bags level off when it was locked up as this is were most of the stress would be on your bags.
He obviously went for form over function. As soon as he lift's it up even he can see it looks odd. Also any idea where the shocks will mount?
@@airmech404 Not sure but I got to hand it to him he is more skilled them me with fabrication.
Can-crusher! 😂🤣😅👍🏻
VERY NICE fab work! 👍🏻
Great video! You got yourself a new Subscriber from Chicago !
Happy to have you!
Loving your vision. Watched all your vids. Your obviously a very proficient welder. Have you thought of doing a tutorial on how you get them lookin awesome. I know that there is other tutorials on TH-cam but you have a great and easy way of explaining it so we all understand. Even just on handle technique to get great penetration and also making the welds visually appealing.
I will probably do a video on that in the future. I'm not sure when I am under a pretty close dead line with this build. Anyway thinks for watching!
One trick can crusher 😂
😂😂😂
Bad asss!!!👍🏼👍🏼

This is kick asss
Have you ever done any air ride for VW bugs? I would love to watch you put something together. Your work is awesome and I’m very jealous
I haven't but there is a bug build with my friend Jeff in the future on the channel but we are not sure of the direction that build is going to go yet.
@@HardCoreFab what’s his channel name?
Thanks buddy for the quick reply!!
Thanks man
You're welcome!
Nice welding, if I lived in the mainland I would stop in and visit, but I live in Hawaii on the big island Kailua Kona on the west side, oh kay, back to the video…
Right on!
BEST CAN CRUSHER. The top of your airbag should be on a pivot point so's not to pinch. just a thought. cool design.
That could be done but it's been working for over a year now so.....
Everything you make looks awesome I wish I had some of your skills to fix my 55 GMC 4x4 big window and yes 55 was the first year GMC tryed to make a 4x4 it's 7 of 100
A 4x4 55 is a cool find even if it's a 7.
@@HardCoreFab number 7 of 100 made.
OH!!! My bad. Well that's super cool then! 😀
Looking great man, just came across your channel. The bag looks a bit tight on the canti pivot side, that won’t cause any issues will it?
New subscriber, I love the way that hooker & blow set up looks and how it works. I can tell I'm going to love this channel, where are you guys located (what state), I can't wait to watch all your videos and I'm going to love watching the rest of this build. Keep up the great work and God Bless you guys.🔥💯💪🏼👍👍🙏✌
Thanks for watching we are happy to have you! We are in KS.
Murray, UT on the lug nut i would look and see how deep the hole is and thread is cut it down taper the edge or look for shorter one
😡 where was this at back in March? I got my settlement and spent $18G’s for the damnedest fricken work.. looks like my frame was jig saw puzzled by a 4x4 frame turned to 2 wheel drive long story big heart ache.... my son has seen pics of my previous builds when I was physically capable of working on my own rides... he just graduated high school and someone Did A look back in time article in the year book which happen to show my 59 bug and my 89 S10 when I attended the same HS. So all my son wants for graduating and since he turned 18 was for his dad to do one more Cali style truck.! But things have drastically changed since 1989.. but anyway the point is I would of loved to have a chassis built by you guys... I love that style of work.. anyway man keep
Up the grind can’t wait to see this project finished!!
Man, sorry to hear about your troubles. I wish you'd found us too, sounds like you could have used some help! Thanks for watching!
Looks like you are on your way to another great build on them air bags tho by angling that way when they are inflated doesn’t that put a lot of stress on one side of the bag compared to them going up and down evenly witch might cause premature ware I’d like to know but overall great build so far and when are we going to see you driving the other one you just finished
In normal conditions they will rarely see angles like that so I'm not overly concerned. Old crow still needs some more work I just couldn't put off starting this build any longer. I am on a big time crunch with it. Connor has been working on it here and there some maybe they will be driving about the same time.
Thanks for all the detailed suspension build videos! I'm learning a lot. What do you recommend for line size going to the bags? Also do you use manual paddle valves or do you go full electric controls? I'm thinking about a 4 channel manual valve setup in the cab just for simplicity of wiring.
Line size really just depends on how fast you want it to go up and down. I'm going to use 3/8. I have a manual set up for Old Crow but I haven't made up my mine on Hookers and Blow yet.
Love it 💕💕💕💕💕💕😍
Thanks 😆
@@HardCoreFab always a fan😍
Neat
pekerjaan yang bagus &jelas👍
Interesting your thought process and fabrication/explanation on the front end. I realized you had the bags expanded above a normal ride height but does the radical angle of the top plate of the bags affect them? Really enjoying this content
They could go even more but yeah In normal conditions they will rarely see angles like that so I'm not overly concerned.
I thought the same thing. I'm unfamiliar with air ride suspension but I was wondering if that upper plate rotating like that would cause issues down the road. You could add a pivot to that end of the arm so the bag's plate stays parallel to the frame.
Bloody flash can crusher mate
I know it's just a mock-up, but I gotta say, cheap plastic plumbing with quick connects will never do that thing justice, old-school reliable bent copper tubing and rubber with all-brass compression fittings all the way.
I agree!
Scotts speed shop had a truck named hookers & blow as well. Nice nice chassis. Why not use a non locking nut for mock up so not to wear out the nylock.
They're the only 9/16 nuts in town so....
I think the airbags should be sitting even and level whe at ride height, the curve is very severe when above ride height. I think you are also going to need a track bar as the side load from corners is going to be a lot of side pressure on the bushes other than that great work.
The angle of the bags is perfectly acceptable per the manufacture and this build is going on 3 year and no troubles. You are right I added a track bar in a video after that
I think I would modify the top are to have a pivot so the bag isn't being bent like that and it can stay straight through the travel. It would only take a few more cuts and welds and I personally think it would make it look a lot more professional and planned out. Imagine seeing a Peterbuilt rolling down the road with crooked bags, everyone would be trying to flag the driver down thinking the truck was falling apart. LMAO
😂😂😂They are crooked as with most designs of suspension.
Dang this is some boss shit. Hookers & Blow.......snap.
Get some sun on it and stretch those bags out and it will go plenty further than that if you really need it. Dope project.
With the air not separated would you not have major body roll as the air would go freely between the bags ?????
It'll have 4 switches that's just for being able to air it up with the shop compressor right now
Muchas Felicidades Joven Por Su Canal. ..
Thank you, George!
Super sick build! Where can I find clear air hose?
It was from Home Depot I think. It's not DOT rated. I was just using it for mock up.
Professional approach, professional results. Top notch sir!
Thank you kindly!
Inwatched this and i was like what the what?? But i went and watched another video amd insee what ya are doing now ..
Do you happen to sell the setup?
Whats a warcher? Never heard of it
Your going to have problems with the air bags top and bottom need to be parallel with each other or they will not last . plate on air bag articulated to the lift arm. Otherwise great build!
I appreciate the concern, but it is not a problem.
Questions. With the bag not airing up perfectly vertical does that effect the lifespan if the bag.
Probably a little. I'll be posting the next video today and I talk more about that.
@@HardCoreFab thanks for taking the time to address that. I don't see any issue at that height but what the hell do it know;) . Sick build....
Get yourself a da sander. That flap disk leaves highs and lows which will show up in your finish of choice unless you use a filler.
No filler no lows and highs just have to keep it moving. Having that said a DA does work well but is to slow for my liking
@HardCore Fab I agree a da does make the process a lot more tedious.
Will it have shocks? Where do they mount?
It will. Keep an eye out I will be covering that in a video soon
See you at SEMA
Hell yeah!!!!
great work but i would say you will have problems with the front bag angle it will rub on its self
No sir works well
Seu canal e show.
I don't know you how to reduce the torque on each wheel when the car is running. because if you do it like yours, the two front or two rear tires go up and down together, but it is not independent.
I'm not sure I understand the question but I think what you're getting at is the T in the airlines? If that's the case this is just to allow airbags to be shown working in the video they will not be plumbed that way on the truck when it's finished
Buen diseño y todo pero las bolsas se lastiman mucho por ende durarían menos.si no se lastimaran tanto quedaría perfecto. Es mi umilde opinión

Does the Hooker and Blow T shirt come in Black?
Yes it does, although not all colors may be available in all sizes at any given time. Thanks for your interest!
How safe is it with the bag end cap at such an angle?
It will be fine
