64 Fairlane "Anti Mouse"

[blade]

Looking good! Can't wait to see the final product! Was there something wrong with the white car? Why did you part it?

[Crazed]

White car had a hard collision back in 2000, was put together ok? but still had unibody issues and the title was marked.

Wow! What's the actual intended use for this? Hot street car?

[Crazed]

We didnt like the spacing on the bolts holding on the fenders now that they are all cleaned up, do we filled the holes, "Hymed" the flange and put in new evenly spaced holes.






Most people wont notice this but its pretty cool.

That's a great looking car, and cool fab work on the build. Makes me wish my 64 500 was a 2dr.

loving the sheetmetal work in the engine compartment!!

[Jetfixr320]

How much work was it to make the hood hinges fit?

[Crazed]

Hood hinges were close, there is bracing in the engine compartment that needed to move.
