We have a nice '67 Fairlane hardtop that we're in the process of getting ready to drive. It's been outfitted with new disc brakes, a fresh coat of Clearwater Aqua paint, and a new interior. Before we can hit the road for the summer cruise scene the biggest hurdle remaining on our project is the steering system. Although the car has newer suspension components and a good alignment, the Fairlane still wanders and is a chore to keep in a lane. The on-center spot in the worn original steering box is cavernous. The OE steering column is beat up and still has the shifter collar from the column shift-long ago eliminated. The school bus-sized steering wheel is also broken and discolored. When we went through the catalog from Flaming River, we realized that it offers everything we would need to get our steering system completely squared away and looking and working its best-like the rest of the Fairlane.
