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.

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.

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.

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.
