1967 Fairlane Super Stock

Rusty Gillis · 06-18-2016, 05:27 PM

After measuring the rear that was in the Fairlane I found out the pinnon was not in the center. I had a rear out of a 1963 Galaxie that we started to narrow years ago but for some reason never finished. I measured it and once Brian welds the Strange late Ford housing ends it will be perfect for the Fairlane.

I ordered a back brace and heavy duty spring perches from Jeg's and Brian started fitting and welding today.

Next week Brian will finish welding.

Ready for epoxy

Two coats of SPI black epoxy. I'm going to wait about an hour and turn it over again and spray a third coat.

I sold the Fairlane to a friend of mine and he will be picking it up Saturday. It won't be far away and is getting a Blair Patrick 520" engine and C6. It will be a street legal race car.

I was really looking forward to the SS combination! Those 66-7 Fairlanes and Comets are one of my favorite FoMoCo body styles and I think the 427 medium riser is slightly underrated for its potential.

But, I'm glad the B/SA car is coming!
