This might not be hamb material, but it is vintage drag car stuff so... I know the thunderbolts where 1964's, But I'm going to pick up a 65 fairlane 2dr today, and I want to do a 60's stlye drag car. I love the look of the thunderbolts, so I was thinking a fibergl*** teardrop hood, and a few other fibergl*** parts (fenders, bumpers) Mostly stock interior with added tach, and I want one of those cool indudction systems that feed through the 2 inner headlights, ect...... Does anyone have any pics of period correct '65 drag cars? There kinda hard to find (I tryed google and others) Thanks for the help.
crites fibergl*** would be the place to go, but probably not for the 65. it was a one yr only car.good luck.
there's a guy building a similar car on the FORD MUSCLE site. might help you to look at his progress.
I looked at crites, They acctually have a 65 teardrop hood, at a decent price too. Thanks for the help.
Crites has a 65 teardrop hood and a gl*** front bumper. They also have headers ,ram air etc. Ford made two 65 Fairlanes for Drag Racing. The Thunderbolt of Darrell Droke( 1 of 1 427 ) and the small block car for Les Ritchey. The Les Ritchey car is being restored as we speak in Texas. The T Bolt is MIA. Look at the T Bolt thread for pics or pm me
Here are a few scans of the Droke Fairlane that I have collected from the internet: Sorry I can's give credit for the posters but they must have been copied before I started keeping a record. They are probably from some of the fine folks on the Yahoo SS forum. Late in the season
The second pic down is by far my Favorite and a great one to show all the " Ford Experts " that say a 65 T Bolt was never made...
