If there is dust settling on the car than it isn't getting worked on fast enough!

Any dust on this 63 or do you have some updates?

Thanks everyone! - The 63 is over in the body shop so I should have some new pics soon!

A couple of small updates on the Fairlane:
With the exterior metalwork and leading complete, the car is now over in the body shop.

With the first primer coat down, the bodywork can begin:

While the bodywork is underway, we are beginning a couple of nice details that should improve the car and keep it as stock looking as possible.

The first is a set of stock looking, custom made wheels. The customer wanted the wheel to look like a factory rim, only larger, to accommodate a larger brake and take advantage of the handling improvements and ride comfort of the IRS FAST TRACK chassis.

The idea was to take the look of a '56 Ford hubcap and scale it up with a machined replacement. This would be set on top of a newly machined 18" wheel and center, designed to look like a factory steel wheel, only 18" in diameter.

We will also be working with Classic Instruments to re-create and modernize the existing gauges (which already look quite cool).
First order will definitely be a speedometer with bigger numbers to let you know precisely how much fun you are having with that Kaase motor...
