Ford Fairlane thread, anyone?

The race car with some of the decals added..

 

Doug,
Just some correct "Period" decals and lettering. Not really trying to copy any one particular car. Probably old Cragars up front and painted steel wheels out back. I am just going to use a mild 390 to get it going, and then switch to a 427 eventually.

get the Crites 427 hood. Looks great

 

Little town in WI back in the late '60's, early 70's had a Ford dealer heavy into drag racing. One car was a '67 HDTP Fairlane Super Stock with the SS fibeglass hood. No idea what motor at the time since they were building every type of Ford motor available back then. I'm a Pontiac guy but the 66/67 Fairlane body styles are one of the best looking in my eyes. The '67 was painted a deep dark blue with just a touch of metal flake in it. In the sun and under bright lights at nighy is just sparkled. I'll always remember the name on the car----"Night Mist". I've always thought that was the coolest name. Especially with that car in that color. Mark L

 

I have some old pics that are not mine, but I will post them here if anyone is interested. They are on some other sites, so you may have seen them before. They are the from the personal collection of a fellow FCA member.

 

Heres mine,
Its got a 429, and a straight axle from a dodge a 100

 

So....Fairlane guys,where can I get an idler arm or rebuild kit and pitman arm for my 65? I think 62-65 is same?

 

You can get the idler arm bushings at Autozone.

 

I freakin love this car! '63 right? If mine was a two door I would go the same direction.

 

This is the look I've been slowly working towards. Absolutely love it! Thanks for this pic.

 

Another,

 

Yes it is a 63. I teach auto shop for the local highschool. its only once a week and its at my house. anyway the kids in my class built the entire car for me. i love my jobssss.

 

This old '66 with a factory FE, Automatic smokes 'em up pretty well.

 

Where can you get the scooped hood for a 66-67 Fairlane?

 

try crites in columbus ohio

I love that 57/58 hybrid! We did one like that when I was a youngster. We called ours, and it became known, as "the crossbreed".LOL Looks great actually.

Here is my old Fairlane.

 

one of the coolest pictures iv seen on the hamb!!!

 

This 66 belongs to a friend....Sweet!!

 

Is it me or has this car been elongated . Whatever the case, it looks good

 

It's a coupe. Nice cars.

 

I drove this one to high school. Sports Coupe with a 289 and ford-o-matic trans. Was a 260 car but took on a tree head on at 45 mph. The 260 didnt survive. Ended up jamming the driveshaft into the trans.

With junk front end removed.



Finished car.

 

That blue 64 convert on the first page looks great! I saved a convertible roof frame and all the parts from a 65 Falcon for many years in the hopes of building something similar from a hardtop 64 Fairlane but never did.
