Love this thing...drive the snot out of it..bare metal and no glass and everything!

The Fairway 55 is moving along quickly. The details are getting more and more over the top everyday. We body is moving into the body shop next week to begin paint and body work. We have 5 months to get the car done and to Sid Chavers shop for upholstry on Oct 1st.

We took a 3 speed column shifter set up and have converted it to work in this car with detents and have that vintage look. We also are incorporating the tach mount in the steering column shifter mount. I like the look very much. We have to clearance the gauge cluster to allow access still.

We have gotten almost everything needed under the hood. The throttle body is mounted on the driver side of the firewall to the intake plumbing under the dash. The supercharger brackets are getting more machine work before getting coated and prepped for the final show. The air intake box is coming along nicely.

We picked up a Rick's Tank with a Vapor works module controller for the dual pump system. Deep rear wheels and full floaters have been a challenge but I feel much safer with floaters with this level of power.

We also decided to ditch the bird.

I thought this picture taken a few weeks ago was really cool.

So that's a bird for a hood ornament on these cars? I always thought it was a air plane. Learn something new everyday.

I see another award winner being built. This really is going to be a sleeper.

It maybe be an airplane, way before my time. That would make sense though.

Thanks

My old motor in one next to my old car.... ??? LOL

I can't remember who the old engine got sold to. But the 55 has a new crate engine with Vortech super charger.

glad the bird was ditched :relax:

This car is really cool!

Thanks, We are pretty excited for SEMA.
