'64 Fairlane Build

[curleysracecars]

Engine and transmission are installed. All new engine components and new 30" wide aluminum radiator...dont think it will be getting hot.

Anyone with any idea as to what it is worth as a project?

Rolled it out of the shop yesterday for the first time. I am just about out of time and will sell it as it sits. May loosely bolt some trim on it but for the most part, this is the way it will leave. Needs final body work, paint, interior, wiring and plumbing.

The car looks great. I really like the work you've done so far. I hope you're able to sell it for a good price or maybe find a way to take it with you so you can finish it. Good luck either way.

The car has been sold and is waiting for its new owner to come pick it up. It will be going to the state of Washington. I will tell the new owner about this thread and maybe he would want to continue it.
Thanks for following along.

congrats Kyle, hope you build something else, this was cool!

[curleysracecars]

Thanks jarhead. I will certainly build something else. I am more motivated to expand my business, so it may be a little while before I get to another project.

That said, anyone looking for CNC machining, precision sheetmetal work, 3D modeling of parts or ideas, or any other manufacturing needs, dont hesitate to contact me.

Have you heard any updates on this? Love what you were doing and would like to continue following along with the new owner. Keith

Seam sealed the interior last week. For anyone looking for the BEST seam sealer, there is a picture of it below. Made by PPG and is called Semkit. It is aircraft fuel tank sealant. 2 parts that mix together in the tube then is dispensed with a caulking gun (pneumatic gun usually). It works excellent, nothing will touch it (acetone, lacquer thinner, gas, diesel, MEK, nothing...) and will stay flexible forever. It bonds extremely well and can be used as an adhesive to some degree. I remove this stuff from military equipment that was in Vietnam, and it is still just as good as the day it was applied. It is expensive, but check ebay for good deals...outdated stuff works just fine for our needs.

I also was able to get the inner fender panels made up. I made the steel parts to graft into the stock sheetmetal, punched the obround holes in the factory locations, and even put the VIN number in the original OE locations. From there, I made aluminum panels that span from the upper pieces down to the frame rails. Definitely cleans stuff up nicely. I dont think I will paint them as of now...

I also added a gusset to the front of the front leaf spring mounts, tying the 2 individual brackets together as one. It looks more complete and helps to keep everything together.

Killer welds!
