1967 Fairlane Super Stock

Those are some of the thickest housing ends I've ever seen!

I think the thick part is the steady for the bar? I could be wrong though.

I see the spring mount hard welded now. When you set the down angle did
you just point it down 3* or so?
Great welding!!!!

Yes

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.

Rusty,
I see you have been working on the Mustang, but was curious if there were any updates on the Fairlane?

No I have not been working on the Fairlane. Trying to get the Mustang back together after it has been apart a lot of years. I also have been busy building this 1978 Mustang II that I plan on making a daily driver.

Instead of "Rusty Gillis", you need to change your moniker to "Mr. RED Gillis".  LOL.  Beautiful cars, and amazing detail and cleanliness.  That '78 will be stunning when finished.  I always had a soft spot for the Cobra II in race trim.  Keep us in the loop.  Joe-JDC

It looks red but it's orange. Not FE powered not sure if anybody wants to see it here.

I sold the Fairlane to a friend of mine and the good news is the new owner will be installing a Blair Patrick FE in it. Stay tuned for more details.

That's kind of a bummer. I really enjoyed this thread and learned a LOT from it. I was hoping we'd get to see it through to the end. Thanks for taking the time to post this build, Rusty.

The Fairlane won't be far away and you will still see updates.

I am sure that guy is honored to be called Friend ! 
Killer car and killer engine  match made in heaven

This would look good in the Fairlane

This is the Blair Patrick engine that is going in the Mustang with a C6 transmission.

Can you give us any specs on the engine, Rusty? I see it has BBM heads and a Victor intake.
