I have the Hollywood Barela in 15 X 5-1/2 on mine. Never saw the knockoffs before wading through this thread. [IMG]
I have some on my car. They are Hollywood Barela. [IMG]
I never dropped the column to remove the cluster but that's just me. I eventually replaced the 64 dash cluster with a 62 sport coupe cluster. The...
hose clamps, engine block color and the oddly orange looking air cleaner and valve covers then?
Sweet wagon Nathan. Any mods planned or are you going for total stockness?
Rears are 225x60x15 on Eighties Crown Vic 7" wheels. My usual fronts are also Crown Vic 15" wheels but are 6.5" wide with 205x60 tires. Those...
My 64 of many years. More pics: http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/w2zero/64%20Fairlane%2062A/?start=all [IMG]
Heard today that Avanti one is still in resto up north from one of the LeMay types.
Pull the tailhousing off a GM S10/S15 Blazer T5 and bolt it onto the car T5 to move the shifter forward.
Yep, your trans code checks out but the axle code is odd. Could that offset 3 for the axle code be a mis-stamped B? If so that would be a...
Any 64 Fairlane has the same piece. There were some 64's a couple miles north of Tushka OK last I looked.
great tunes too
I think it's because of drilling out the spot welds on the ball joints. The rubber bush is easily gotten rid of with a torch.....just heat up the...
If you're an old racer/hot rodder, then show up at the Old Country Buffet in South Hill Puyallup for the Old Racers brunch every first Wednesday...
The whole front suspension is unique to the 62-65 Fairlanes. The underbody is the same for them and the 62-63 Meteor. Look for rust behind the...
What?? you didn't cave into the bullshit that you have to replace the whole lower arm just to get a new balljoint? I generally separate the...
Thanks a bunch. You saved me six bucks and the price of gas from Ruston and back!
http://www.king5.com/ Yup, 8 or 9 wounded, fight escalated to shooting, possibly gang related, yuhuh, really? ALSO...
You forgot to include that your son got to ride in the Flintstone car at LeMay in Fife. You don't see that much. Email me and I'll send you...
The Edelwhacker carb was cheaper at the time and I am of very limited means.
The Fairlane spring is aprx 53-5/8" eye to eye and the Meteor spring is aprx 55-1/8" eye to eye. Not a good match. If you can locate a 62-65...
My 64. Had it since about 93 when it was a 200 six with Fordomatic 2spd trans. [IMG] [IMG] More pics of the stuffings, etc....

Nice car indeed.

Went to my son's for family bbq.. various dead creatures on the grill. Teriyaki chicken, dawgs, brats, burgers, and ribs. Lotsa conversation...
All the Fairlane wheels were 5 lug. The 13" wheel was only 62 and rumored, but never proven early 63.
I think the originals on mine were about 3/8" thick so the 1/2" rubber should work if it isn't too soft. I fine tuned my front end height by...
15x7 mid 80's Crown Vic whls on the rear, 15x5 Hollywood mags on the front. [IMG]
The 62 and 63 Meteor shared the same platform as the 62-65 Fairlane but the Merc had differences in the front and rear suspension that they called...
