Hey Rusty,
Do you know what happened to this Fairlane? I thought you may know because, did'nt you buy one of Ken's Mustangs. Or do I have that mixed up. Some cool paint on this car.

The Fantabulous Fairlane wound up in So. Illinois around 1969 or 1970. With a little digging I could probably find it. It belonged to a Guy in Olney or Flora if my memory serves me correctly.

Do you have an expected completion date, Rusty? When are we going to hear noise and smell smoke?

About a year ago!!
I don't get a lot of time to work on my projects with all the customer cars we are working on. I have three projects of my own not counting the race car I have been working on in my spare time. I have decided to finish the Fairlane first and stop working on my other projects.

[quote="rusty428cj"]Change of plans I have decided to make this a street car and not a race car. I have a 428 and a set of ported Edelbrock heads and a C-6 that I had used in the Mustang that we will install in the Fairlane.[/quot
How come you decided not to race the Fairlane, Rusty?

It still could be a race car but I have decided to race the Mustang in the Southern Stock Super Stock Association with only a couple of changes I don't need two race cars. To make the Mustang legal for IHRA B/SA all we need to change is the cam, intake and heads. I already had all the parts to make it a legal IHRA stocker so the engine is at the machine shop now.
I have ordered a Crites rear spring relocation kit and plan to mini tub the Fairlane. I will finish the bodywork and at this time I plan on making it a street car but you never know.

Maybe set it up for some NSS action. You could have a motor that is mild enough to be streetable, but still be potent enough to have some fun at Nostalgia events. Best of both worlds. That is what I am thinking to do with my '67.
