Very very nice car. You can never go wrong with a 64 fairlane imo. Whole car looks flawless,  can't wait to see it up and running.

Very nice car. I think some nice old style sign writing would really set it off.   ;)

It looks like it's haulin' ass just sitting on the trailer. I'm diggin' it!  8) Are you building the motor or having it built?

The motor is mostly built, but still waiting on a few parts. When it is finished and dynoed, it will post the details and results.

Got the car booked in for late November to get some sign writing done. It will all paint and brushed on, as it would have been done back in the early '60s.

Did some dummying up with the intake today to check alignment and fit.



It all looks pretty good, make only need a few thou taken off the valve cover rails. The port alignment looks almost spot on.



Also, finished all the sign writing on the car. It's all painted on, no decals.
