Would it be possible to install airbags in an '86 GT?

worked on a buddy's old go-kart.... he liked to jump things, and well, wasnt good at judging distances would jump a mound of dirt and land in the woods... or not get enough speed and and roll it.... so he just duct taped a big pillow to the wheel.... and no more bloody noses...[&:]

Need the dash computer for the airbag, the sensors, the bag itself, a clockspring, the wiring, and a dash light in case something goes wrong and the bag needs serviced. And other stuff to, like the ECU im sure.

Lots of work. I wouldnt bother.

A passenger side airbag yet? Forget about it. LOTS of work there. A bag just doesnt 'pop out'. Has to be in the right place or itll smack the passenger in the chest or take thier head off. Or both.
