Fairlane

[GPR]

I have been busy working on customer cars and have not had a lot of time to work on the Fairlane. We now have the headliner installed and the seats.

We are making a little progress it has been over 5 years since there has been any glass in the Fairlane

Brian made patterns of all the interior trim panels out of poster board



The patterns were sent to Scott Rod Fabrications in Toledo Ohio and were made in aluminum.





NHRA requires the interior trim panels to have upholstery on them so I had Mike at Mike's Tops in Port Richey cover them in cloth.





Mike also covered the rear seat area with carpet. It looks a lot better in person

Interior is looking good, Rusty. Congrats on getting glass back in the car.

It's not carpet it is cloth.

After a lot of thinking and studying the NHRA classification guide I have decided to build a 302 from a 1968 Cougar and race it in GT/LA. It is rated at 230 hp and I can run aftermarket aluminum heads along with the same Quick Fuel carb that is the legal replacement for a 390 or 428CJ. This will be new for me because I only have experience with the FE motors. I believe it will be a lot cheaper to build than an FE and very competitive.

Looking good!

We have been very busy in the shop and I have not had a lot of time to work on this project.

We installed a TCI shifter with a custom mount made by my son Brian and Lokar power cut off attached to the Flaming River unit in the trunk.
