1967 Fairlane Super Stock

[GPR]

I started this project a long time ago and I believe at this time we will be building it with a 390 to race in SS/IA or SS/JA. Modified Mustangs & Fords magazine will be featuring tech articles in upcoming issues.

This is how it looks right now without the front fenders buffed.





This is what we started with and I will catch you up on the build as time permits

Sporting a serious case of paint job envy over here.... that thing looks like it was dipped in candy! Be sure to keep us updated!

Other than the bad quarter the car was pretty solid only needed a few patches.



We cut out the floor



2 x 2 subframe connector from the rear torque box to the front torque box and tying into the rocker and also a place to weld the roll cage.

Thanks for posting those floor pix.
I'm dead in the middle of that right now.

At the time I did not want to spend around $700 for a new quarter so I straightened it.














Sprayed a couple of coats of Slick Sand Polyester primer over SPI black epoxy primer



Block sanded to find the highs and lows. Primed and blocked a few times







I would have been better off with a new quarter would have saved a lot of work.

Thanks again
Since you posted all those pics I have decided to cut out the front floor a bit in order to access the welding needed.
BTW my connectors weld to the trans mount rails instead of going to the torque box as yours do.
Any thought on that?
BTW
Nice work

I think I'd extend to the torque box if I were you; that is where most of the strength is on the unit body cars.  I always run from the rear subframe all the way to the torque box, and tie to the front subframes along the way.

Well Done, Can't wait to see it runnin.

Welded all around the shock tower



Welded the holes not needed in the firewall. Even welded by mistake the throttle linkage holes!!



Sanded the engine compartment down to bare metal and ground the welds on the firewall.





Sprayed two coats of SPI black epoxy.

Beautiful job on that engine compartment, Rusty...

We are building this old school with leaf springs and CalTracs.

My son Brian does all the fabrication so I had him mini tub it.









I did a little bodywork
