Fairlane
 
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.

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