1964 Fairlane K Code

[jschmidt97306]

My Dad & Mom ordered this very car new in 1963 and drag raced it around Oregon. I came home from the hospital in the car when I was born. Shortly after, grocery bills due the car was sold and then found 30 some years later under a tree a little worse for the wear. We recently tore the car apart again after the first hot rodding modifications (The Hi Pro Long Gone Ford Guys) and started over with a Morrison MaxG Chassis with some major help from Vanderbeck Race Cars.This is how our family does Heirlooms!

Very Nice!

My Dad had a 63 and a 64. The 64 was a K code and Red.

Looks great, keep posting!

[galaxie460]

nice, please post more

[HotRod47]

Awesome!

[jschmidt97306]

Will keep the pictures coming. We actually tore the car apart last February and have been rebuilding since March. Long process, but I think it is going to be very cool when done. The big choices are now, like wheels and colors. Thinking of Schott SL65 wheels and staying with Red. Maybe a bit brighter like Viper Red. I like neutral colors but I think you have to go a bit more wild on big cars.

Some sweet stainless work. :cool: Derek at Refined Metal Works built these beautiful headers.

The Fairlane looks awesome! What are the deets on the drivetrain? What's the planned tire/wheel size?

144868 This is the wheel I am leaning towards after months of flip flopping. Still unsure, any comments?

[Z06killinSBF]

Those would look amazing on the car, beautiful work so far.

[wfo guy]

Wheels are so expensive now that I would paint up cardboard ones and stare at the car for a while before purchasing. I had a 64 2dr hardtop that was a k car back in 1969. I never liked the way they set. They were too low in the rear or too high with air shocks or shackles. All the modern components fix that. :) You've got a good start. Looks like a solid body and great parts.

[jarretts70]

I like those wheels, but I'm also kind of old school & think wheels should be shiny.....

Question - when you fabbed your floor pans did you build any sort of sub-rails or did you weld the pans straight to the Morrison frame?

We used 1/2" x 1" tube steel 12" O.C. more or less across the frame rails to stiffen the floor. We set it up so the body with the floor and tubing will unbolt and the body will come off the frame.

Looks great! I'm saving your photos for future reference. Can't wait to see it finished.

[1968CamaroSS_Sam]

Very nice looking car. Love the shade of red on this now, but I am sure the red you are looking at will be nice too.

[jschmidt97306]

Stainless and Aluminum ready for straightening and polish. Not too bad of shape for over 50 years old.

You never know until the moment of truth!

[wfo guy]

If you haven't, you might take the cover off the plenum on the under side of the intake and looks for machining chips and debris. This has been found more than once in that style of intake no matter who made it. Looking good. :)
That's gonna be way nicer than the one I had in 1969!

[Motown 454]

Just got a chance to check in, Man it's looking good!

[jschmidt97306]

Thanks Buddy, We did check the plenum before we stuck it in the car last year and ran it for one summer, before the big project. Hopefully we will get the tuning squared around this time. They want to run fat. We bought the upgraded controller so we have more tuning flexibility.

Got rid of old speaker / defrost grill and added a couple of cup holders:razz: The old stock console took tons of work to make correct. Car is coming apart for paint this weekend also down to last hood in trying to get the " right look" scoop. Finger crossed on this one!!!!

[wfo guy]

What look are you going for with the scoop? I'm sure you know the only common scoop was the Thunderbolt from 64 but you're not building a drag car. How much taller does it need to be or is it just for aesthetics?

[jschmidt97306]

Need 2 inches on the high side to clear the stacks. Not a fan of the upside down frying pan Thunderbolt scoop. The big problem is starting with a hood that has a minor raised cowl already. Everything you put on top of that looks like an afterthought.

Sure hope those are speed rated caster wheels. :)

Very cool build, nice choice of powerplant....

Back at you Mike. I have a Viper motor in a Viper and can think of a hundred cool projects. Nothing has the coupled power like a Viper Engine and Trans!!

[jschmidt97306]

Sure hope those are speed rated caster wheels. :)

OK on straight away but don't hold G's in the corners. :)

I noticed the Winston banner on the wall. I had one way older that that one. I don't remember if I have it rolled up somewhere or it visited the dumpster. Looks to be red all over soon. :)

WOW! Can you share who makes the filters for the stacks? I'm having some trouble finding a set to fit my system.

Thank you!

Brakes and Clutch bled and no leaks!!! Monster brake pressure on the Wilwood system, bottomed the gauge out with your arm. . Those 14" would stop a 18 wheeler!

After exhausting 3 steel hood modification try, we are on to a fiberglass hood. Good thing we still have our parts car for mock. Getting the lines correct and clearance on stacks has been a big pain.

Got the FAST XFI Sportsman running the injection reasonably good. At least to get it up on a dyno! EFI is a real pain in the butt to get going, but will be worth the effort down the road.

[OctaneRiot]

That is looking hot! Absolutely loving the chassis and setup. Really trick. Can't wait to see it all buttoned up.

[jschmidt97306]

Areas of the car are getting finaled / finally.

This thing in gorgeous and amazing!

Do you have anymore build pictures of the console? I'm wanting to do something similar

[Motown 454]

I always loved this build, WOW! It came out gorgeous. Nice job.

[Tincup]

Awesome.....

[MichaelUser]

Great car. Very well done. If I may suggest is to upgrade those breathers on the EFI stack to real air filters. Those are for allowing air to flow out like a valve cover breather. Plus they are restricting the power considerably. You need something taller with more surface area to match the CFM rating on those cylinder heads. I want to see a burnout! Keep up the great work.

[Martin71RS]

Very nice!!

[blucarspeed]

This was the car that my wife and I (Jeffs mom and dad) ordered from the factory and we brought him home from the hospital in. I had to spend her savings for the down payment but what the heck. We race it in d stock class ate up a few chevys. Lots of street racing in those days. today we are just as much of a gear head as we were then. Jeff didn't stand much of a chance when it came to cars. When he had his drag car it was hard beat him. I'm happy to say I still torture myself with new car projects. We are very proud of Jeff and his 64 fairlane, proud of him in everything he has become.

[skylark guy]

WOW! This build is beautiful!
