Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

Rusty, I love the Fairlane the color is great. I'm in the process of installing strange 4 wheel disc brakes on my 66 Fairlane. I have a stock 67 dual master cylinder on it now. What part number strange master cylinder did you go with, do you know what the bore size is. Thanks Robbie

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

It was bought a long time ago but the number on the box is B3359TABK 1.125 bore size.

Rusty,

I'm sure different tech guys seem to have different rules but out here in Div 6, they absolutely will not allow the distribution block to be plumbed into the system even if the car came that way from the factory. I realize that there is no passage between the front and rear brake lines but that doesn't seem to matter to them. No big deal to me but you might want to consider removing it now and avoid an issue in tech later.

Thanks Rusty, good luck with your build.

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

Real nice build :)

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

I installed the brake lines under the car and Buddy made sure I did it right.

Nice build you have going. A lot of quality that most will never see.

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

I have been measuring and I think I will be going with Hoosier 29.0/12.0-15 on a 12" rim they have a 13.7 sectional width and I have room for 14.0 sectional.

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

Thanks for letting us follow along with your Build. This is great. Outstanding quality here.
There have been some great build ups and tech discussions on this site I try to learn from.

Hey Rusty, the car looks outstanding. If you get a chance, could you email me your contact info? My email is captcj at hughes dot net. I have a couple of things I would like to talk to you about. Thanks.

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

It seems like I never have any time to work on my Fairlane but I decided to spend a little time this weekend on it instead of customer cars. I started taking this apart over 6 years ago and now its not that easy finding all the parts. I finally found the brackets for the headlights and the hood latch. After I sandblasted them I sprayed a couple of coats of SPI black epoxy.

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

Your car looks tremendous dude, I'm a Chevy man but I love those Fairlanes!!!! I can't wait to see it done,along with some SuperStock action!!! Great Job!!

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

I just moved this out of storage and will start working on it so that we can race it sometime in 2014. Still not sure what engine or Super Stock class yet.

Car is looking great

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

My plan is to race in one of the SS/GT classes so I ordered a 427 fiberglass hood as a Christmas present for myself and it came in today.

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

That's very cool Rusty !

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

I had to trim about a 1/4" off of each side and a little off the back block sanded and epoxy primed.

Keep up the great job, looks great.

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

I block sanded the fiberglass hood and added a little filler

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...psd84f2bd3.jpg

Sprayed a couple coats of SPI Turbo primer

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

So Rusty what's it going to be GT/AA with a two carb 427 and deep into the 8 second zone.

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

I don't have the rear suspension or sponsor for that combo but it would be fun if I did.

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

Today I block sanded again and sprayed two coats of black epoxy primer. I will paint the hood red before I'm finished but it will be awhile.

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

Steve Baur the editor of Modified Mustangs & Fords picked up the Fairlane to take it to their shop. While there they will be writing tech stories for future issues as they are installing the Painless wiring harness, Autometer tach and gauges along with a Flaming River steering box, column and steering wheel.

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

There has been a lot of people laid off at Source Interlink magazines in the last week and Steve Baur was one of them Friday. Not sure what will be done on the Fairlane now.

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

Whoa! Yikes!

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

Probably because all he featured are elanor clones! LOL

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

Steve was looking for something different for the magazine that is why he approached me about finishing the Fairlane as a race car. I had changed my mind and it was going to be a street car until he shared his plan with me. He wanted to feature a lot of the build in the magazine along with the engine build with dyno numbers followed with testing at the track. I told him I wanted to make it a GT Super Stocker and he liked that idea. We were just getting ready to put together a plan as to what engine we were going to build when all this happened.

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

So have they even told you what they're gonna do now? That's scary...

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

The Fairlane was moved out of the storage warehouse this morning and waiting to get in the shop.

Ready to start installing the Painless wiring harness and control panel. Once this story is finished the magazine will be ready to go to the printers.

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

Whew, at least they're still working on it! Can't wait to see more!

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

Rusty,, I hope they don't use any photos from the passenger side,,, that looks like a Chevy Nova in the background,,,, not appropriate for a Ford magazine.LOL

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

Great job man, love that car. keep posting pics!

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

WOW - - That has got to put a crimp in the plans. It looks like work is continuing, so good luck and can't wait to see the finished product. I love the look of this car. Reminds me of the way these cars looked when raced new and on into the 70's and even the 80's. Much better than the current crop of s/s cars. I LOVE old school super stockers.

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

I'm an old school racer at heart. I raced the 1969 Mustang in the picture and won SS/GA class at Pomona in 1972 and still have it.

Steve Baur at this time will be a freelance writer and we will be moving forward with the build featured in Modified Mustangs & Fords magazine.

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

Well, that's one issue I'll be buying! Normally can't see buying a magazine that's solely full of the same cookie cutter cars. pg5, a $100,000 mustang, pg10, another $100,000 mustang but a different colour, pg 25, yet ANOTHER mustang with a different paint job...yawn...

Or am I thinking of "modified mustang" or "mustang monthly" or any one of a dozen "mustang only" mags.

Beautiful car and whatever it's in I'll buy to see;
(1) a class car.
(2) a ford other than a mustang.

Re: 1967 Fairlane Super Stock
 

Read all about the wiring install in an upcoming issue of Modified Mustangs & Fords magazine.
