64 Custom Fairlane 500

This is what I started with 22 Yrs ago It had a 3 on the tree and the Best running little 260

 

I know it wasnt the best choice among alot of people on here, But I threw in a 5.0 fuel injected motor. We drive the crap outta our cars

 

It runs great with a T-5 and 373 gears

 

I was really board one day, Decided to Desicrate some Harley Davidson gas tanks

 

Its hard to work with the boss around

 

Acid dipped all the aluminum , That was time consuming to remove all the factory coating.

 

I always hated seening the backs of the headlights, Made a cool cover to hide them

 

I never cared for the stock lights, I rolled some metal, and split the buckets to recess them back farther. It looks much better. I think

 

I put a little pinstriping on the car to break up everything, Plus I always liked it, Alot of my younger friends dont like the Chicken scratch. But I learned it by a ole timer yrs. ago. And I have always loved it

 

With the metallic green, The only color interior that I think would fly was the white. It turned out good. It has green stitching and chrome pipeing. I had to put the 1949 Ford wheel in there. It feels like I am driving a school bus, But its cool and helps. No power steering here.

 

this is it

 

Looking good.... Console is iffy tho

 

I was really worth removing all the anodizing off the trim. Alot of work, but really made a huge diffrence.

 

This is my Favorite Pick

 

I just wanted to do something diffrent, Every Fairlane I look at pretty much looks the same.

 

I like it... I saw a Galaxie with the anodizing removed, but he had it all plated because up-keep was a bear

 

Nice stance and taillights.

 

Edsel58a It is alot of upkeep, But I cant afford the plating at this time. I probably will bite the bullet one day

 

My ole man wanted me to put. 427 side oiler in it.....I can build another car for the cost of one of those. To much money for me.

 

I like it. Nice work.

 

The car looks great! I really dig this style car.
looks very clean. What are the antennas off of? they look cool.

 

car looks great ,but i cant handel the white walls with white wheels.

 

Sweet!

 

Thanks man, I try

 

The antennas are off a 58 impala, I had dual 58 ford antennas, but the angle wasnt slanted enough

 

I thought green was too much, ya cant see in the pics. But there is green pinstriping to break it up sum.

 

It's a nice touch.

 

What a rebel! A real troublemaker aren't you? EVERYBODY knows a 64 Fairlane has to have a bubble hood and notched shock towers to really be cool! I like it.

 

This car speaks to me. Well done!

 

One more question, how is it lowered? Looks a lil low to be static drop.
