I smiled really big when I read this post. I currently feel the same way.
Love what your doing with the car. Looks great!

So a couple of weeks ago, I stopped at Summit in GA. Noticed that they had a steering column that would work for the Chevelle. It was missing a key, so they had it at half price.
This weekend, while waiting on paint to dry, I had the idea of taking the key cylinder from my original 3 on the tree column and putting it in the new column. Yes , it worked so I will be using my original key for the car. Happy this worked out.

I wanted to get some help making a decision on coil overs or stay with air ride. At his point, I have the ridetech airride shocks that came with my suspension kit. I currently don't have the air system, and now looking at possibly moving to coil overs instead.
It would be less money to order new shocks instead of an air system. It would also be less issues with installation. So I am leaning toward the coil overs.
Now the next question, whose do I choose? Stay with Ridetech, or go to like Aldan, or Speedtech? I like the Speedtech at this point, but not sure if it would work with the A-arms from RideTech.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Bill

So there has been some activity going on in the garage. I just haven’t kept up with posting here. I did ask a question in my last post, but didn’t see where anyone had thoughts on the subject.
Been trying to finish the engine and transmission. PSI Conversions has been great to work with on going kind of old school look.

Looking good. I love the clean & compact footprint of the Holley Mid-Mount set-up.
As for the Air Ride vs. C/O suspension.... It comes down to what YOU ultimately want. I have had air set-ups (basic manual set-ups only) on multiple trucks over the rears. They're great for adjusting ride height when I'm pulling a trailer. But they can have issues & can be a source of aggravation @ times when supporting pieces fail (compressors, pressure switches, height sensors) while not @ home.
That being said, seeing as you are talking about a GM A-body, the chassis is basically like the C/O option w/o the adjustability. The good about the C/O's is the ability to easily tweak spring rate vs. an OE configuration replacement/aftermarket coil spring but I'd bet most replacements springs get the job done as-is. Next is the ability to tweak/adjust small ride height changes as well, So, C/O's get the nod for adjustability over traditional coils if you are the type that will want to 'adjust' things beyond the initial setting up.
Maybe the answer is in the realm of do you like to tweak things, or do you tend to leave things alone if you're good w/the initial set-up?
