Fairlane

[GPR]

After I primed the body I was not happy with the quarter panel so I have not painted the body yet. I blocked it again and than epoxy primed. The doors and fenders are painted I mounted them just to get them out of the way in the shop.

It has been a long time since I worked on the Fairlane but the Super Stock project is back. Stay tuned for more details. The first thing I need to do is block sand the body and fix any imperfections.

There is a clearance issue with the front spring hanger and the CalTracs. We notched the front spring hanger and after I installed the springs found out it was binding at the frame rail. I decided I would correct this problem later. Since we started working on it again now is the time to fix it.



The frame rail will need to be notched for clearance. If you look at a stock Ford frame rail where the leaf springs bolts in the stock location it has been notched

Good to see you back on it.

You can see where the pin from the CalTracs was rubbing the frame rail and I marked where the top of the bracket is on the frame rail.

You never know what you will find inside a frame rail

Brian made a patch and we gained about a 1/4".
