The Fairmont The Plan #FairmontProject
I think every build should start with a good plan. You need to figure out what it is you want to accomplish before you start paying out your hard earned money on a vehicle build. In this video I talk about my plans for my
1979 Ford Fairmont. For those of you not familiar, this is a
Fox body vehicle which is the same chassis as the
Ford Mustang from 1978-1992. That means that most of the parts that fit a
Mustang of that vintage, fit this car. I'm not the first person to think of this, but I hope to put my own unique spin on this build to make it my own. I think you'll enjoy what I have in store for the
Fairmont. If nothing else, it will make for a bunch of new and interesting videos this season.
I can't wait to get started.
FYI, that will likely be summer
2015.
Thanks for watching.
