`64 Fairlane.

This one i have been working on and off for awhile. I had one when i was 18, as well as a XM 2 door, that i was going too do up. But then bikes got in the way and i sold both of them, what an idiot.
I started with the Revell T-Bolt kit. Converted to four door, Stock bonnet from The Parts Box


Front & rear seats from the AMT `57 ford, Revell `69 Mustang dash


Lowered as usual with most of my builds


Rear end out of AMT `96 cobra


Revell Super Stallion motor


Started work on custom interior door panels this morning. If this turns out okay, i am going to replicate my old 1:1 the way it was when i had it.
More pics in my Photo Bucket,
Enjoy, i don`t think it will be finished any time soon. I am not rushing it, and i have way too many other projects on the go as well .

That's looking good Steve - nice four-door conversion. As for all your projects, well you have to live life a quarter mile at a time eh?

Nice job on the conversion Steve - looks really good. Can't wait to see it finished.

I thought you would remember this one tj .

Sweet, I love the Street machine/Pro-touring style.

This is awesome work Steve, I'm with tj on this one, (forget the rest) I want one!!!!! can you mould it (pretty please)

Painted the body and chassis today, same colour as Linda`s `93 Fairlane. Used the touch up bottle she got when the car was repaired after being run over in a car park.

Nice colour!

very nice looks great
n love the colour too

Yeah looking good Steve, nice colour too

Lookin good Steve, there should be more four door models available.

Good one Steve. Being a fan of 4-door cars , your Failane looks pretty easy to convert to a 4-door . A bit easier than the '67 Impala I ,m turning into a 4-door . I'll keep watching yours.

Had a productive day yesterday while watching the Moto GP. Foiled and cleared.





Also got the 2 Mustangs foiled as well.

wow man that paint looks great in the sun
top job man

Sweet...this is looking awesome Steve.

Small update, have started working on the engine. Decided not to use the Super Stallion motor as the cam covers do not clear the shock towers. So i am using a Fuel injected 5 litre engine.

Cool Motor!! and the 5.0 will still have plenty of stick.

Some great work coming along here, mate awesome project looking great
Adam

Chassis is completed, apart from rear shocks.




Engine almost done



Have changed the wheels and set the ride height i want



Now to start on the interior.

Looking really good Steve - can't wait to see it finished.

Oh yeah!! The Chrome T's look way better!!!

Look what i got in the mail today

Now i can start on the replica of the car i owned when i was 17.

New parts in the box
Stock bonnet


New rear stock size steelies, for those that don`t know the T-Bolt kit, the front & rear wheels are different diameters


Stock hub caps


14" radials


Headlight buckets


New air cleaner


Side exit exhausts


Decal sheet


To do a 100% stock Fairlane, you still need front seat (only has race seats), diff and rear suspension
(only race set up in kit), stock exhaust and a 289 Windsor (only has the 427 race motor). The `64 Compact was the first 289, the `62/`63 Compact had the 260 ( in Australia, don`t know what engines the US models had).

After the good job Revell did with the Boss 302/Mach 1 retool, i`m a bit disappointed with this. At least they could have done front seat and a decent small block. Oh well.

Cool - can't wait to see what you come up with Steve!

Sweet Fairlane, very nice!
