1967 Fairlane Super Stock

[GPR]

Is there a minimum thickness or it just has to hold a magnet.

No just has to have stock steel bumpers with braces.

[cjshaker]

I was wondering about the braces. Am I correct in assuming the car has to have all items that originally came on the car, besides sound deadener, seam sealers and the like? Have you gotten the car back from wiring yet? It would make me nervous also to hand it over like that, no matter who it was to.

I know you ran small block springs in the front of your Mustang, curious if that's what you're going to run in this car as well?

They only had the car a week.

When I raced SS in the 70's you had to have the heater, wiper motor, wiring, one horn, and anything else that came with the car new. The only thing you could change was any flat tappet cam, any intake that would fit under the stock hood, any size slick that would fit in the wheel well and headers. I remember going through tech one time and they were making sure everybody had a turn signal lever. Now you are allowed to remove a lot more but it must be stock appearing.

I have Moroso springs now.

Autometer Elite tach and gauges installed. You can read all about the install in the August issue of Modified Mustangs & Fords magazine

I have been busy working on customer cars and have not had a lot of time to work on the Fairlane. We now have the headliner installed and the seats.

Great job

We are making a little progress it has been over 5 years since there has been any glass in the Fairlane

Looks good Rusty, looks like you'll be making some passes pretty soon. What class is it going to run in?

That is a good question, I'm still not sure what engine we will be building for it.

After looking at the pics my car needs that and more. I have a Comet and it is amazing the differences in the body skin and structure. My core support is completely different for instance, I had wondered if the Comet and Fairlane core support was different but not even close. Are you going to do a full cage? I would be interested to see how it all fits together.

We put a Chris Alston's Chassisworks cage in it a long time ago.

Brian made patterns of all the interior trim panels out of poster board



The patterns were sent to Scott Rod Fabrications in Toledo Ohio and were made in aluminum.





NHRA requires the interior trim panels to have upholstery on them so I had Mike at Mike's Tops in Port Richey cover them in cloth.





Mike also covered the rear seat area with carpet. It looks a lot better in person

[cjshaker]

Looking great, Rusty. I like the look of the cloth and carpet over just plain aluminum. It's really neat to watch your build come together like this. It really helps me to gather a plan of attack and see close up what some solid build techniques are for when I go to build my first drag only car. Thanks for sharing this with us.
