Got another one done. It's paint in HOK cherry pearl with some Pearl Ex interference red added to a clear coat. I added a side mirror after taking the pics.

Very nice Jim. This is one of my favorite cars. I like the wheel choice and blue wires under the hood. Good job!

Thanks, guys. The block is painted Ford blue so I thought blue wires would look good with it. Wheels are from the Revell deuce coupe.

I've got this dumb kit. Your verision gives me new inspiration. I love that color, and the torq-thrusts make it awesome!

Good lookin' Ford..........love the Torque-Thrust wheels! They seem like they were made for the '66-7 Fairlanes.

Thank you, fellas. I've got this thing against steel wheels & dog dish hubcaps, so I very rarely use them. The wheels on this Fairlane just seem to make the car look fast just sitting there.

Good for you Jim! That steel wheels/poverty caps fetish gets annoying fairly quickly. Personally, I don't think you could've picked a better paint color or better wheels for this build.
