Will you be running the air lines for the front bags through the cabin or outside the chassis?

Since I'll be running mine through the interior, I was thinking of running bulkheads in the fender areas and run a short line to the bags. That way, if I ever need to replace a hose on the bags, I wouldn't have to tear out the interior and rerun the new lines. Or will I just be adding more areas prone to leaking as the number of connections increase?
I like to build my own cars this way I know the work are getting done right the first time. On this car im using 1/4 lines and ran all the lines outside and underneath the car since it is all covered up. On the previous car I had 3/8 lines and ran them inside the car. The lines were thicker so it doesn't kink as easy.

Didn't get much work done lately been super busy with work. My original plan was to run all the wiring behind the panels for a clean tuck look but it was just too much wires. So I went with this setup for now instead let me know what you guys think.

I finally finish installing the suspension. Here's how she sit for now. I'm still able to go 2 inch lower front and rear. Sorry for the iPhone quality pics will get better ones when the wheels go on.

That was supposed to be all caps btw.
Did you access the rear strut by removing the rear seats or are they accessible through the trunk?
Were your air lines run under or through the car?

Sorry for the questions - just stuff that's coming up as I begin on mine...

Thanks Jay, to access the rear shock you have to remove the rear seats and left up the rear deck. As for running the air line underneath. I had the car on a left and removed all the plastic underbody and run in there. When you remove the trunk side panels you can run the lines thru where they have the brake sensor lines location.

Thanks man, the ride is pretty good for being a low budget brand. I was expecting worst but its similar to UAS/Megan I had on the previous car.

Awesome - thanks for the advice! Sounds pretty straightforward.
Looking forward to the rest of your cars' build.
