I know Russ well. Is the show right behind Serrano's? My sister called my one evening after eating supper there and told me there was some hot rods there. Which Sonic? Higley and Germann?

Yep, right behind Serrano's, and it is the Sonic on Higley/Germann.

I thought Firebird was closed on Friday nights until May...I just checked the schedule and it's kinda vague. Unless you're Team Firebird or something.

I'm up Ellsworth in NE Mesa. Once I get the wagon done I'll try to make one of those shows.

Ken, it'd be good to see you again, it's probably been 15 years since we talked (right after you swapped the Fairmont from the '93 donor). Your car was still white then. Not that you remember me, but your car is a small part of the reason I am building the wagon.

You guys are the best. My car needs lots of work. It looks better in the pictures than in person. I'd love to talk again. I got a quick story....I joined Facebook last week and got a friend request from someone in Ohio. I didn't recognize the name (it was Matt Keller) but I answered him anyway. He said your the Ken Newman with the bad a$$ Fairmont aren't you? You guys (and Skye) know how to make an old man's day with stuff like that. We need to have a Fairmont gathering soon.

Out at Speedworld thay are having a quick 32 race Saturday night if Firebird is closed. I'll probably be there watching my friend Jim race his 86 T-Bird.

If you look at the webiste, firebirdraceway.com, it shows they're running Friday night drags the 9th and 16th of April. We also run Team Firebird because my youngest daughter runs a Jr Dragster in that program, and the next Team Firebird race is scheduled for May 22nd. I will, however, call them tomorrow just to make sure as they tend to change things last minute.

If you come out, stop by - You can't miss it because it'll definitely be the only flat black boxtop out there.

I guess I'm surprised we haven't already met out there. I'm running the baby blue Capri, dad has the red Capri and now mom is getting in on the action with a Canyon Red Capri. All stick cars of course. Stop by and say hey if we're stuck in the staging lanes during the 9:00 track prep session.

Sorry to hijack the thread...we now return you to your previously scheduled internet, already in progress.

Here's mine....(again)

1980 Fairmont

Front - Factory Trimmed Springs
165r15 tires 15x3.5 Weld Prostars
Maximum Motorsport Caster Camber Plates
Strange Adjustable Struts

Rear - 1978 Futura Trimmed Springs
275/60/15 15x8 Weld Prostars
Stock 98k shocks for now, although adding Adjustable Drag Shocks

[Ken Newman]

I love that car! The sport coupe and the Pro Stars are a great combo.

[Squeek]

very good thread since i dont just plan on lowering mine, i plan on air bagging it all around.. getting around the front should be a nice lil trick

quarterstang86 - how adjustable are those struts? i'm assuming the camber caster plates are a must for it to be lowered?

[1fast4door]

thay make the air struts for the front for the fox body the fun part would be c notching the rear

[Squeek]

yea those EXPENSIVE at least 800 just for the front. same people tried selling me a rear strut kit too...

[Forever]

I still love the car!!! It looks great with the yellow springs and the 10 holes

[stoopid john]

How did you get all that meat under the car, especially the front? That is a wierdly sweet car. Ever thought about adding a Mach 1 lip to the front to kinda visually lower it in front?

Is this the same one that was done some years ago?

Chuck

[82 fairmont guy]

the tires are not as wide as they look and im not sure about the mach 1 chin spoiler but it definately runs like a raped ape......

[Squeek]

The car had yellow springs in it, i don't know the brand. I ended up putting coilovers in the front and stock 4cyl springs in the back. The yellow springs must have been 2 inch all the way around.

This is a pic of it now with 275/60's and no engine in it.



I want the car to sit low all the way around with the tires that are on it now.

If you look in the background, you will see the old springs.

hey still have them springs?

[Mr. Squirrel]

I love MONTS and ZEPHYRS alot. I hope to see more pictures guys. Put them up and your secrets of lowering them as well PLZZZZ

[stoopid john]

No, i traded some stuff for them.
