1964 Fairlane- Smith Hot Rods

That's a cool little build so far. Will be keeping an eye on this one.

Those shock towers will be missed by no one.

Yeah they're far worse built than I though. Nothing like 14 spot welded to 20 with zero seam seal or corrosion protection. The build standard and geometry is a joke. I can't wait to drive it with the new gear.

Big day yesterday. Stabbed the 408 in with the Tremec behind it. The trans is an MMR900 which is supposed to be some high zoot deal. We'll see. The scattershield is a McLeod and the clutch an RXT from the same folks. We ended up making a pretty good size hole for the tans but it looks like the tunnel will barely fit the driveshaft so I think the major surgery is over.





Got the final stitching done o the crossmember.



Hanging of the goodies. No big brakes for this car. I'm running a 15 inch wheel and trying to keep this thing a featherweight.







I'm really impressed with the R&C Motorsports stuff. Everything went together perfectly and the quality of components is outstanding. I'll be making new inner fenders and a firewall once the bead roller shows up. More to come!

Nice work!

[NOPANTS68]

Thanks Jar. It's been a really fun project so far. Now header mania begins. Could be a real pain figuiring it out. Sounds like most guys are having good luck with Headman stuff so I'll try that first.

Nice car, I love the body style and you've got some sweet parts to go with it. It's going to be interesting.
