1962 Lincoln Continental - Complete Air Suspension Installation

Grab your soda and popcorn- this is a long one! I'm splitting it up into chapters so you can jump to the parts you actually want to see, but we're covering a complete installation of air suspension on a 1962 Continental using Air Lift 3H management and Choppin' Block front and rear suspension.
This car was already equipped with air ride, but as you'll see it left a bit to be desired. I hope you enjoy- worst case, I hope you got a nice nap out of it!

This was great to watch. I'm about to install this air ride kit to my 61 hardtop, so it was great to see the process.

This guy just makes this look so easy!! It's just a walk in the park for him!! I bet he can do this in his sleep!! Outstanding job👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@TrickedOutShowcase]

This continental looks sweet murdered out and laid out like that!!!

Great video! Waiting for my 64 Continental to get finished being restored. LS swap and air ride suspension are in the works!

Old muscle cars are the best ones ever build.

[@twistedimages405]

They definitely aren’t built like this anymore!

@@twistedimages405 yes. Sadly in my country you cant afford one, since gas is 2€ per liter

I have a question woud it be good to put seam sealer glue between the new bolt on mounts and the frame because if u go trough water, water can accumilate in between the frame and new mounts witch are screwd in ? Ye its not going to be a problem instatnly but later down the line it coud rust the frame in that part ye its painted but water can still get trough paint to the metal to rust out that part if there is water there for some time

[@culpjon]

What size wheel and tire combo was that?

[@abelbotello7136]

Where are you located and does porter built make a system for a 64 riviera ?...badass work by the way....

[@LamontKing]

How much for the swap and susp?

[@terrygant9055]

How do I get all the parts ???? I've got to have that look

[@Realest1979]

Nice vid. I don’t understand why Airlift sends out angled air line fittings for the bag which made routing the air lines super tricky in the frame cup. I replaced mine with straight fittings so that the airline came straight up and out.

[@twistedimages405]

You’re talking about for the front bags? I definitely prefer to run the line straight up and then put a 90° union fitting just outside. I’ve never gotten fittings from them so I didn’t know- I’ll have to message them about that!

[@Realest1979]

⁠​⁠@@twistedimages405 My bad. I meant to say from Airlift. That 90 degree fitting is a good idea. Barbed? 🤔

[@twistedimages405]

@@Realest1979 it’s a 90° PTC union- just line to line DOT push- connect. Makes installing/removing a bag so much easier and you don’t need to leave a bunch of slack in that long run from the front end back to the trunk

Any idea on what disc brake conversion kit that is thanks. In process of doing my 62

This one had the Baer 13” brake setup. We’re a dealer for their kits- send a message my way and I can get some pricing together for you!

@@jurekssima7836 we don’t stock the Choppin’ Block suspension kits, but they’re usually available to ship within about a week.

hi if you can suggest where to buy this whole system. i have 67 continents. and what would be suitable for my car? thank you I can't speak English myself. only with translation

[@jurekssima7836]

Can you recommend which manufacturer's system is better to look at 67. Continental. I have a convertible and it wouldn't complicate things with the installation?

[@barrymonroy7138]

You should of freshed up the the steering components...

its a 63

Good looking ride Except for the LS !!

I know it’s a touchy subject, but he drove the car 800 miles to drop it off with us with zero issues- it’s hard to argue with the power and reliability for the price! Just gotta leave the hood closed at the car shows and nobody has to know haha

[@markkraus3598]

@@twistedimages405 no argument there ! I have a 66’ sedan in my shop & the owner had the 460 rebuilt (modified too) & we like having the hood open . Nice work on your part , good looking kit too👍. Have a good one from Florida

@@markkraus3598 I respect anyone that goes through the pain and expense to keep the stock Lincoln drivetrain alive- these cars aren’t for the faint of heart or weak of wallet!
