1964 Fairlane- Smith Hot Rods

[NOPANTS68]

.....and then the wheels showed up! We went to ADV1 for the wheels on this car and selected their Advanced Series 3 piece wheel with an extreme rear concave profile. They're designed for 6 piston Wilwoods and are 18x7 and 19x12.5 out back. Rear tire is a 345/25/19- not sure on front heights yet so I'll just be using my roller 235/40/18s for now.

Dealing with ADV1 was an absolute breeze and their staff is ultra professional from deign, to logistics. The wheels feature all Ti hardware and the level of detail is unreal. I have looked over each wheel closely and cannot find a flaw. Can't wait to have these shoved under that little car soon!

The build is looking awesome. On the 408 you had, what valve covers were you using?

Starting to get the engine together and make some decisions on the trans. I'm thinking this car may just go 4 speed with something stupid strong. I've had two cars with Magnum T56s and while it's an awesome trans, I prefer the "chunk chunk" of the old 4 speeds. It's also far lighter, smaller, and I'll probably hardly ever drive it on the freeway. Rear gear looks like it's gonna be 3.89s or 3.73s. Engine should go 9000+ RPM.

The barrels are finished in a brushed stainless powder that gives em sort of a pearl appearance. I needed something easy to clean as the spokes get tight out on the edges.

More to come!
