I've got a 62 fairlane, so I'd love to see yours after you drop it.
Thanks CJS, I knew there were more out there.
Yeah, I'd have liked to get more pics but ran out of battery on my camera. I was surprised at the number of nice gassers there. Hopefully somebody...
Aaaand just a couple more.
Few more...

Got to spend just a few hours here, this show just gets bigger and better every year. More quality rides too, and the few r** r**s actually were...
We used a lot of Omni when I was in school a few years back. It's very good paint for beginners, lays out nice and is forgiving to spray -...
From what I've read about many of the 50's concept cars, is that most of them were destroyed out of the fear of liability. The manufacturers were...
That's interesting, I never knew it was a chemical thing. I always assumed that it was an abrasive thing, almost like a polish combined with a...
The OP mentioned something about possibly using a cleaner wax of some kind. If it's not appropriate for use on the car he has, then when are they...
The swap meet isn't too bad, but I haven't been there for the last two so it may have changed. We usually check it out early and are out of there...
"So, Joey, you ever been in a cockpit before?" "No sir, I've never been on a plane before." "You... Ever seen a grown man naked?"
This question gets asked a lot around here and always seems to cause an argument. Assuming the axle is forged and not cast, there's no reason...
I gotta say, you NAILED the roof profile. Very nice work.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but aren't these policies paid up front beforehand, so the renewal notice you get is for the following year? If it's just...
I would probably try and get the back end down a little more til it's low and level, seems just a tad high. Otherwise I think she looks great as-is.
I agree with the spider caps, and bring the front end down a bit. It doesn't need anything else. I usually love black wheels but I don't think...
I still say that ANY car be made cool with the right wheel/tire combo, stance, paint, and trim removal. And this car would be the perfect...
I think the black steelies with bullet lugs and centers, and some cheap skinny whites would look just fine. One of my favorite low-buck looks,...
When you mentioned him having an islander accent, I can't help but keep picturing the guy from the Red Stripe commercials. Hooray beer! :D
Looks great so far. I have to say though, those wheels are just beggin for some spider caps, to break up the black. But I'm an absolute sucker for...
Looking really good so far, lots of nice works. Whereabouts you from, must be my neck of the woods? Gonna have her done for Automania in June? :D
Where did it let go? Was it resting in the air, or while moving up or down? I will echo what others have said, the very first thing we were...
The 32 frame does look a lot nicer than the model A frame, although I'm sure you know they're not a direct fit. For those who don't know, the...
Straight CO2 is supposed to have better penetration than an argon mix, but your welds won't look as nice. I've never used it before, but it sounds...
That's very cool of him to do. Although you must realize, it's not really yours... you're just the new caretaker. :)
I don't know who this guy is you bought the coupe from, but he sounds like really cool shit.
Like others have said, we don't have nearly enough information here, regardless of what kind of car the paint is going on. Can you give us an idea...
Don, I've seen your car in your avatar and for the longest time wanted to see full size pics, now I like it even more. My dream roadster has...
