      I believe Modified Mustangs & Fords magazine is going to do a budget built on a 66 Comet sedan. They want us to do the rust repair and advise the owner while he is doing the bodywork and than we will paint. We should be getting the Comet sometime in Oct.

      That would be cool. I will have to keep an eye out for it.

      I was not happy with the quarter panels after I primed it again so I stopped working on it and worked on the 68 Coupe instead so I could take it to a couple of car shows

      It has been a long time since I worked on the Fairlane but the Super Stock project is back. Stay tuned for more details. The first thing I need to do is block sand the body and fix any imperfections.

      AWESOME - you're back on it. As much as I like the Mustang project, I REALLY like this Fairlane project.

      Keep the updates coming!

      There is a clearance issue with the front spring hanger and the CalTracs. We notched the front spring hanger and after I installed the springs found out it was binding at the frame rail. I decided I would correct this problem later. Since we started working on it again now is the time to fix it.



      The frame rail will need to be notched for clearance. If you look at a stock Ford frame rail where the leaf springs bolts in the stock location it has been notched

      You can see where the pin from the CalTracs was rubbing the frame rail and I marked where the top of the bracket is on the frame rail.

      Hey Rusty,

      This had happened to me before as well. I don't know if the same thing is what happened to you but I figured out what my situation was... I moved the pictures to new folders to better organize my pictures on photobucket and the original link to the photos were looking in the wrong spot... If that is what happened to you as well, all you have to do is to re-do your "copy and paste" with the new revised location of the photos...

      I removed the Opentracker suspension to make it easier to tape the undercarriage.



      I also wanted to install the adjustable strut rods that came in yesterday
