My 1968 Fairlane

[fairlane347]

I wanted to SELL my Fairlane but not much luck. I am thinking of turning it into a pro-touring car. The drive train is only a few years old so its in perfect running order. I would need to do a better suspension, new paint, new interior, and add sound system. I set the car up to drag race and with 2 kids now I don't have that chance, but I like to go to the local cruise nights.

ANY sugestions on suspention parts would help. Air bags available??
Any color suggesions? I was thinking dark green, blue or black.
Wheels??? I have a set of 17" from my old car that don't look too bad, but they only fit the rear.

Have you seen this thread to Steve Rupp's (now Yancy John's) 70?

TCP, RRS both make stuff for the fairlane/torino and if you want a more stock looking system that is as potent as the others (front anyway) check out www.opentrackerracingproducts.com

I see you already removed the headlights, why not put the teardrop hood on to make it look like a Thunderbolt?

No one makes a tear drop hood for a 1968. No I don't want to buy one of those cheap teardrops and glue it on they don;t look right. I have a mint factory hood with the Cobra scoop I might use.
