'64 Fairlane Build

[curleysracecars]

Hey everyone,
First off, thanks to everyone who contributes to this forum! It is an absolute wealth of knowledge and experience. Ive spent countless late nights reading through threads, not realizing how late it really was and that I needed to go to work in a few hours.

This started as a personal project for myself. Customers stuff is nice, and it pays, but it was starting to get difficult doing all the work then watching it leave and having someone else enjoy the end result. This was suppose to be a back burner type project when I was slow with customers stuff. That meant I didnt touch it for most of the first year I had it. Fast forward to now and I am solely working on it, trying to get it to a sellable state as my wife and I are planning on moving out of state and I dont really want to take it along with me.

I wont say too much and instead let the pictures speak for themselves. Basic plans for the car was to make a pretty nice street cruiser...that maybe could handle well? List of modifications include:

*Custom Front Crossmember w/ Removable Center Section
*Custom SLA Front Suspension Using MII Spindle
*TCP Early Mustang Leaf Springs Using Adjustable Front Mount (I could never get a definite answer on whether a tunable front mount would be beneficial specifically in regards to roll steer...so I went ahead and did it)
*Carbureted 302 w/ Ported Iron Heads (.030 Over)
*C4 Automatic
*9" Rear with 3.50 Center Section and Adjustable Shock Mounts for Future Coilovers if so desired
*4-Wheel Disc Brakes (all Ford stuff)

I have tried to think ahead and make accomodations for someone to change things up in the future if they want. Engine mounts welded to the crossmember are easily adaptable, rear shock mounts would accept a coilover no problem, front adjustable leaf spring mounts could easily be used with a 3-link or TA setup, etc.

I am lucky enough to use Solidworks often for modeling, and have access to lasers, press brakes, CNC machines, etc.
