The #FairmontProject Gets a New Suspension

Plans are meant to be changed. What started out as a simple build on my 1979 Ford Fairmont, has turned into something much more. With the engine making so much power, 575hp @5500, it was time to take another look at the car as a whole.

After talking with Jack Hidley of Maximum Motorsports, I realized it would probably be a good idea to upgrade not only the front, but also the rear suspension of the #FairmontProject.

In this video I cover those changes and why I’m making them. If you’re looking for more info, no worries, I plan to make detailed installation videos with all of it explaining more of my reasoning behind the changes. Those videos should air in a few months.

In the mean time, linked below is some additional information on my new suspension.
