Killer looking Fairlane at Colombus pics?
 

Did anybody get pics of the Fairlane at Colombus? It was a deep red with satin gray on the hood, gray interior, and layin just about on the ground with some big rollers under it. I ran out of space on my camera.

This was one of my favorites. It was built by Doug Schultz that used to own Streetworks.

He was great to talk to. I told him about the site, maybe he will check it out.

what does Doug do now and who bought streetworks?
That is a cool fairlane I might ad!

I don't know who bought the company from him, he didn't say. I'm sure someone on here will know. He did say that he has a "regular" job now. He works for the government doing some sort of metal fabrication. That's all the detail he gave other than when he walks out the door work is over and it feels good. LOL!

Really is a sweet car and to find one that nice to even start on restoring is tough they all seemdd to rust away over the years good to see one saved.
I actually was there Sunday when it was spraying fuel all over the engine compartment when an injector didnt seat and came out he was reall cool about it ecs when a million people were around asking what happened, got it fixed and parked great looking ride though love those different rides:thumbsup:

That's a bad a$$ looking car. I love the sleek, understated look.

Cool...in a sea of Camaro's & Mustangs.:thumbsup:

You see why it was one of my favorites!! Wink Wink:thumbsup:

the coolest part was the 1/4 window handles, looked liked they would hit the roll bar, BUT he took apart a snap on ratchet and machined the handle on and the handle ratcheted the 1/4 windows down, worked killer and ingenious.:thumbsup:

I really like the engine bay no nonsense extra biz going on, clean and industrial looking.

The engine compartment looks like a giant injection molded part with that finish. I wish I had been there to drool over it in person!

I was thinking the same thing. Very well executed car. It looks KILLER

Very well done! Well thought out too, nothing looks like it should be on a different car, if you know what I mean.

Shiny Side Up!

Wow! That car is awesome. I have been talking it over with Steevo on how to black out the hood on my Fairlane and this defenitely helps alot.

That car was awesome looking in person, very clean engine bay. The flat gray (header paint) really added to the look. I had it in my top 5 as a wild card car.

Anybody know what the paint in the engine compartment is?

Wow - John - Awesome pics

okay tell me about the camera & lense you used ( both of them )

Anyone know what brand wheels those are ? Nice 3d detail to them...........

wow that is an amazing car

Those are a discontinued wheel that Boyd used to make. They were polished billet, but Doug Schultz gave them a matte finish for a better look on his car. Check out the front suspension too.

Isn't that sway bar the Uni kit from Competition Engineering?

John

For the fisheye I used the CTRL - C/ CTRL - V and for the other shots I used the CTRL - C/ CTRL - V.

John

Now we know what Darren was doing when he was supposed to be in the booth.......... :_paranoid

I leave the booth for 5 minutes and.......

Thanks guys for posting these pics. I really thought that this was something different and well executed.:thumbsup: I love the 66-67 Fairlanes and this one has a nice clean look.

J

I LOVED that car!

All I am going to say is, If Troys name was on it he would have won....


Paul

Not really true - the Hurricane didn't win and it was selected

1 point for marty.

I was kind thinking that the fairlane is awesome but not Troys build style at all.

Come on,

You guys know what I mean,

I just threw Troys name out there, what I was getting at was because cause he wasent a big name he didnt get "selected"

Paul

:lol: Yep i was just picking on you because I knew you respond right away.

I Still think they picked very nice cars for the top five and i would have had a hard to picking the winner. If I was going to pick a car i would have choosen that ..................... ( i'll just keep it to myself ))

Very Very Nice!!

a few answers
 

The paint in the engine compartment is a custom mix PPG base coat/clear coat with flattener in the clear, the same paint is in the interior, on the hood, and on the wheels. Speaking of the wheels, they are Boyds, and they are called "hotrod". The anti-roll bar is nobody's kit, it and the bellcrank system were built for the car, the rear is the same, sans the bellcrank.

Is that you Doug?

thanks
 

yep! Was it that easy?
Thank you all for the positive feedback and coments our car, it took a long time, and lots of long nights.

Welcome, I'm glad you made on here. I think you will really like it. I just wanted to say thanks again for taking the time to talk with us on Friday at the show. If our truck project turns out even close to your Fairlane I will be extatic. Your philosophy of not sacrificing function for form while still maitaining an awesome look is refreshing. I'm trying to follow the same route. :thumbsup: Later.

Ok so how many guys asked "wanna sell it"? ..... nice job it is one cool fairlane:thumbsup:

to sell or not to sell
 

two people asked, nobody had money. It is for sale.
