Fairlane

[GPR]

I was going to build this Fairlane as a race car but changed my mind. I don't need two race cars. I wanted something different to drive to cruise nights and car shows to promote the shop. I have a 428 and a set of ported Edelbrock heads I took off the race car and a manual C-6.

This is what we started with

I thought I was going to have to buy a new quarter but I spent an afternoon with the dent puller

I remember going lots of miles in one that color when I was a kid, you just brought back lots of memories ! I don't think yours will be the same when it's done.:thumbsup:

We added a roll bar. Still have to add the side bars.

428 CJ with ported Edelbrock heads and a reverse shift pattern manual control C-6 that I used in my race car before running a JPT C-4. Before Jim goes back to Michigan he is going to go through the C-6 and his C-4 from the race car.

Looks like a fun project. Keep the pics coming.

Love those fairlane's.Give it a cool vintage nascar feel.Kinda of a David Pearson 21 style.:thumbsup:

[GPR]

We stripped the engine compartment and welded the shock towers like Shelby did on the early Mustangs and also did the Shelby drop.

It has been awhile since I did an update.

The roll bar has been epoxy primed


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v393/rusty428cj/146-2.jpg

I started the first of a lot of block sanding and priming on the quarters to make them straight

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v393/rusty428cj/1967%20Fairlane%20Pro%20Street/149.jpg


I thought the bodywork was finished but I had a lot of small dents in the roof I found after block sanding

[waynieZ]

Nice progress. It looks good.

[BritishGreen68]

looks like its going to be nice! You guys put epoxy down then filler over it? That's good, I see a lot of filler over metal these days lol.. One trick that i do is put down etch (on bare metal), epoxy, then a couple coats of urethane primer wet on wet, because the primer sands a lot easier then epoxy, and and you have more material on it so don't sand through as much when doing the mud work.. also its nice to have some primer on it to block right from the beginning:captain:

I use SPI www.southernpolyurethanes.com epoxy that sands real easy. I spray two coats than blocked it with 80 to find the low spots. Do my bodywork than spray more epoxy and than two coats of Evercoat Slick Sand. Next step is sand with 80 until I start seeing the black epoxy followed by two more coats of Slick Sand and block with 180 than epoxy prime again.

I had to move my car outside for awhile so I epoxy primed the quarters again before all the bodywork was finished.

[GPR]

We had a little spare time so Brian welded up a few rust holes in the rear window channel and I did some more bodywork

I should have it in prime again soon and than I can start the block sanding.

Wow what a difference being one color makes. It looks like the quarters came out nice.

I did not think I could save the right quarter. Now the fun starts blocking them out until they are straight.

[GPR]

Block sanded the body with 80 than 180 and than sprayed 2 coats of SPI Turbo primer. It's getting closer.

I needed a little eye candy so I epoxy primed the back side of the deck lid and painted it SPI Red which is a pure red with no orange tint.

I did not like the way the spring hanger mounts so I had Brian add a couple of gussets.

Looks fantastic Rusty! That red really pops over the light base color. You're going to need sunglasses to look at in the sunlight.

Very nice Rusty. That car should "pop" for sure out in the sun.

Just went through your build, some very nice work.....:thumbsup:

After I primed the body I was not happy with the quarter panel so I have not painted the body yet. I blocked it again and than epoxy primed. The doors and fenders are painted I mounted them just to get them out of the way in the shop.

It has been a long time since I worked on the Fairlane but the Super Stock project is back. Stay tuned for more details. The first thing I need to do is block sand the body and fix any imperfections.

There is a clearance issue with the front spring hanger and the CalTracs. We notched the front spring hanger and after I installed the springs found out it was binding at the frame rail. I decided I would correct this problem later. Since we started working on it again now is the time to fix it.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v393/rusty428cj/1967%20Fairlane%20Pro%20Street/317_zpsc926fd5d.jpg

The frame rail will need to be notched for clearance. If you look at a stock Ford frame rail where the leaf springs bolts in the stock location it has been notched

After straighten, welding and a lot of grinding and sanding I sprayed at least 3 coats of SPI epoxy and started the bodywork

I've never had that happen and have been doing it since 2005 using SPI epoxy.

Brian made patterns of all the interior trim panels out of poster board

NHRA requires the interior trim panels to have upholstery on them so I had Mike at Mike's Tops in Port Richey cover them in cloth.

After a lot of thinking and studying the NHRA classification guide I have decided to build a 302 from a 1968 Cougar and race it in GT/LA. It is rated at 230 hp and I can run aftermarket aluminum heads along with the same Quick Fuel carb that is the legal replacement for a 390 or 428CJ. This will be new for me because I only have experience with the FE motors. I believe it will be a lot cheaper to build than an FE and very competitive.

Looking good!

We have been very busy in the shop and I have not had a lot of time to work on this project.

We installed a TCI shifter with a custom mount made by my son Brian and Lokar power cut off attached to the Flaming River unit in the trunk.

At this time I have decided to put together a 428 from a lot of the left over parts I have and race the Fairlane in Nostalgia Super Stock at NMCA events. I can always build an NHRA legal SS engine at a later date.

A friend of mine gave me the 9" rear and I think it came out of a Bronco. It is very hard to get the slicks to clear the 2" studs so to make it easier to install we are going to narrow the rear 1.25". That will center the 10.5" slick when I get a new set in the center of the wheel well.

The Wilwood brakes I have are for the late big Ford housing so we will install a set of Strange housing ends.

Rusty I have been following this build for a long time. Customers cars are what pays the bills. That said your work speaks for its self! Looking very good!

[GPR]

After measuring the rear that was in the Fairlane I found out the pinnon was not in the center. I had a rear out of a 1963 Galaxie that we started to narrow years ago but for some reason never finished. I measured it and once Brian welds the Strange late Ford housing ends it will be perfect for the Fairlane.

I ordered a back brace and heavy duty spring perches from Jeg's and Brian started fitting and welding today.

Test fit the old original 390 out of my Mustang into the Fairlane, The oil pan was a slight issue but the pan on the BP427 has a little more clearance in that area. Not use to having a car this nice ! it makes it harder to work on ! And I rolled out the tires I have for the Fairlane.
