I finished block sanding the fenders and doors than I sprayed 2 coats of reduced SPI white epoxy. Next step is to wet sand with 400 than spray the base

Looking great. Cant wait to see this bad boy all done. I think I will be doing similar in the next couple years when I put my big motor in, but with a 4 link.

After I primed the body I was not happy with the quarter panel so I have not painted the body yet. I blocked it again and than epoxy primed. The doors and fenders are painted I mounted them just to get them out of the way in the shop.

The Fairlane will be beside my 1968 Mustang coupe in the shop on the cover of the June 2012 issue of Modified Mustangs & Fords Magazine. _________________ Rusty Gillis

It has been a long time since I worked on the Fairlane but the Super Stock project is back. Stay tuned for more details. The first thing I need to do is block sand the body and fix any imperfections.

There is a clearance issue with the front spring hanger and the CalTracs. We notched the front spring hanger and after I installed the springs found out it was binding at the frame rail. I decided I would correct this problem later. Since we started working on it again now is the time to fix it.
The frame rail will need to be notched for clearance. If you look at a stock Ford frame rail where the leaf springs bolts in the stock location it has been notched

You can see where the pin from the CalTracs was rubbing the frame rail and I marked where the top of the bracket is on the frame rail.

You never know what you will find inside a frame rail

I removed the Opentracker suspension to make it easier to tape the undercarriage.
I also wanted to install the adjustable strut rods that came in yesterday
