Ford vs Chevy Build-up

[partsbob67]

I've been following your build. I run the pms on my stocker and it works ok. pretty easy to use. chassis dyno is your friend! good luck with your project.

Not needed on this car, but I ran across this Aerospace rear brake system for half price and could'nt pass on it. This one may never have much go, but it will definitely whoa hehe. Much easier/quicker to pull the axles vs the drum set-up to boot.

While the engine parts are at the machine shop I think I shall begin putting the interior back in the car...be prepared for a shocking change in appearance.

Thanks for the updates. When my granddaughter is done with Jr's, we are going to need to find something else for her to race. I have everything to put my 64 Fairlane back out there but a Fox body would be the cheapest way to go.

I'll agree that the Foxbody is relatively cheaper to build than most Tommy, but to be honest I could have bought a complete running car cheaper than for what I will ultimately have invested in this one.

Do the Fairlane! I can think of nothing cooler than a teenage girl staging a 64 Fairlane against some old coot in a Dodge.

Just noticed today I had the calipers upside down...corrected. Carpet in the morning.

Man, it was a race car for a lot of years and to todays kids it may be a tank. It's up to my son and granddaughter. I drive it like a dozen times a summer.

I was beginning to regret messing with this console instead of deleting it, but I believe it's going to work out in the end. I need to fashion a mount for the shifter before bolting the console down permanently.



Once the door panels and sill plates are back on I think it will look pretty decent.

Not certain what shifter you are planning to run, but if it is a 1/4 Stick style shifter, Holcomb Motorsports makes a really nice shifter mount that works with the stock console. Here is a link to it. I've used one in 12 different Mustangs, lol. http://shop.holcombmotorsports.com/S...m1plqscsfapp03

Except maybe against one in a SS/GT '68 Mustang!
