Slick 60's

well,
I'm trying to figure a way to get back to my daily posting of nonsense, humor and leg pulling!
but can't really do it in the Truck Talk,
Off Subject I would get old quick and drop to the bottom like a box of rocks

But I thought maybe here,
since it is my new project

just couldn't do another truck after selling Miss Daisy
so the 64 Fairlane will have to do

I'm starting tonight as a matter of fact
just got vehicles switched out and
ready to start jacking the car up and beginning my quest

Before









Should I join in and post progress,
or just go quitely and sit by the curb

I'll jump in with an opinion.

Yes - I'd like to see the build project. My recommendation however would be to post in the "Off Topic" section since it is not a 61 - 66 slick build. I am doing something similar with the paint project on my 67 Mustang coupe.

Good luck with the build, it is already a nice looking ride.

Mike, This is REALLY A BAD IDEA !!!

Just sign the title over to me, I'll come and get the car, and save you!

After all, What are friends for... :shock


Heck YES! stay on the site, build this one and maybe the next will be a slick!

I say hell yeah!

Very nice car! What are your plans for it? I'd be proud to drive/show it just as it is!

I haven't known Mike very long, nor can I speak for his motivation, but despite his initial statements of intent, I don't believe anyone thought he would be happy with the Fairlane until it reaches the level achieved by Miss Daisy. The Shelby held his attention until the trophies started rolling in, then it was time for another endeavor
Mike, I know you like stock appearance, but there's sure a lot of room between those shock towers ( at least compared to a Cyclone). Just sayin'

Paul

Mike go for it although I dont see much a set of Torque thrust ( D,s ) wouldnt fix with that one . Well ok a snorkel air cleaner with the intakes going to the inner headlights maybe .


Rick

I think it would love to be a Thunderbolt clone and live at my house....just sayin'

Morning,
6 Hell Yes's are good enough for me
Please note this is not a 61 - 66 Ford F100
But it is a Ford Produced and put into service between 1961 - 1966

Should of noted - Milage as 06/27/2012 - 65,750
Original Color Polomisian Yellow or something!

Got to "Remove Drums" and not so easy! got one out of the 4 off,
will be getting bigger hammer this evening
Plan on replacing all Drums, everything anyway!

I think the past ower was thinking about making it T-Bolt Clone

Alright Phase one is done
All new Front End, everything replaced or rebuilt
all new Brake system, kits, cylinders, drums and shock
all new fuel system, tank, some lines, fuel pump















next is some interior work while I save for the 351 Windsor and C4 Transmission

Looking good looks like baby got some new shoes as well . They look like Torqque thrusts and look good on the car .

Rick

love seeing the build, I think we all enjoy watching each others projects regardless of it being a slick or not. Looks great!

well it will be a while but can't wait to start posting
before and after on the engine build phase

so my original post will probably drop to the bottom like a rock until I have more,
more money first!~


lost a half dozen "checks" ?

You forgot--------SERIOUS shock tower modification! No FE fitting in there as is !

The lines on that car are awesome. Great looking ride.

Mike i was gone when you got this
glad to see you back
as for the fairlane, excuse me i need to get a towel and wipe up the drool on my keyboard

Great watching the new build.
I think those drums would look great painted the body color .
