And not only that, but with 17" wheels, I can get bigger front brakes too.

I guess I've already crossed the line into a restomod, I'm not sure of the exact definition of a pro touring car is but I might be getting there.
Build what YOU want and enjoy it!

As another option to look at, I have CPP upper and lower arms on my 70 with Viking double adjustable coil overs and Proform steering linkage/hardware. I've been very happy with it in the limited amount of time I've street driven my car. My rear suspension is more geared towards drag racing so there's probably not a lot of stuff for me to recommend out back. My suggestion would be to buy a complete package from one of the big vendors that is proven and just bolt it all on.
