Best I can do is 1:25 scale for now! This is an original AMT annual kit I picked up a couple of years back-

Here's what it looked like then- yes, that is permanent marker all over it!

Now that I actually know how to paint, I think I'm going to break it back down and give 'er a fresh coat that doesn't look like the produce aisle at IGA!

 

here is my 66. ill try to get some current shots of it later.

 

Pretty cool Scrape! I haven't seen a '66/'67 2-door post Fairlane in a very long time!

 

There is a bass ass Fairlane over at DogFight.

Here is one I just picked up pretty cheap IMO. Everything seems to be there and its pretty solid from what I can tell so far.

 

heres mine all stock with the 312 in it.

 

Those cars are awesome. Way cooler than a T-bolt, IMHO.

My 63 Fairlane 500 project is old 60's drag and street car. Hunting for few parts like a narrowed rear axle with 31 to 35 spline, locker or spool etc. Will be mostly a drag car.

 

my project gonna lower it and put it on some starwires

 

that's the one I posted a pic of above in post #243

 

Very cool got to see a few race's at Nurburg back in 71!

 

Did my thread die?

Update... I'm adding cragars! I'm stoked

 

one of my top 5, before i die cars!

 

here is my 1959 fairlane/galaxie 500

 

Here's one I saw recently. Check out the radiused wheel openings...Ford should have made 'em like this to start.

 

Here's a couple I found for sale.
$800 buys them both. Blue one said to run. 6 Cylinder auto and a flintstone car.

 

Here's my 66 made it look like an old race car but drive it all over the place.

 

here's my 61 i had posted on here no takers so im going to make it my daily driver ... unless some one wants to give it a good home...

 

Mine is a 1966 390, 4 speed. I cruise and race on TNT days against my buddies and their GM's. It goes 12.50's but I always want more. I got a 427 block and hope to come up with the scratch to build it soon.

just gettin started. 390 auto,going to slam it porter muffs and bellflowers, then drive it till its ready for some flake.

 

I'm home at last!

 

My '56...built by my Dad and I when I was 16 and was my daily driver for 17 years before I sold it.

 

Home is where the heart is and also a real nice place to be.

Welcome home.

 

My 1962 in front of the shop, and a picture of my new fins and taillights, I have since changed up the taillights and sunk them in.

 

Here's my '62. The bad window tint is gone now and new wheels are coming next.

 

I love the "Old Rag!" My Fairlane is kind of heading this way with the lettering and old drag race equipment. Is your car FE powered?

Here is mine. It is getting a mild FE for now, and a Nostalgia Super Stock "look" to it. Actually, the 289 came out of the car today (10/30/10). I guy bought it for an old Ford Hot Rod he is building, so I know it has found a good home. Imagine that, a Ford Hot Rod with a FORD motor! I like it.

 

i love it!keep em comming!

 

Mike,
any hint on what your "Nostalgic" look will be like? I have aspirations on a "Nostalgic" look as well but have yet to pull the trigger and move forward. Which FE engine are you using?
