0703161758a.thumb.jpg.44de0e2a2543c94f37Hey everyone. Since I'm waiting on paint to dry, I decided to take out the Fairlane and do some mockup.  The plan is bright white with a red interior, and a red rocker stripe. Power will come from a 427 with a 5 speed. The wheels are Casey's resin pro touring steel wheels that will be painted to match the car. I haven't decided if I'm going to use the kit hubcaps or just leave the wheels plain. Thanks for looking!

A little update on the Fairlane. I've wanted redlines on a few of my last builds, but I couldn't figure out how to do them. But today, I think I got it. I think it definately adds to the look. And I also added separate plated door handles from the Revell 69 Talladega kit

Looking good so far, i love the Fairlanes. Here in Australia the two door wasn't manufactured. Ford Australia made the ZC/D Fairlane 4 door http://www.fomoco.com.au/zcadd1.html. But they also made the ZA/B Fairlane which my dad had one in 70's http://oldcarbrochures.org/Australia-2/Ford/Ford/1968-Ford-Fairlane-ZB-Brochure/1968-Ford-Fairlane-ZB-02-03. Two door or four door they still look great.

Your Fairlane looks fantastic. But the inspiration car has me a little confused. What are they running for suspension? specifically the hubs and axles. I've never seen a 10 lug setup before other than 1 ton pickup's.

Hey guys. A small update. I put some color on the interior panels, Testors Italian red laquer. I got some flocking on the floor as well. Going to start the engine and chassis detailing next. All comments welcome!0717161919_HDR.thumb.jpg.7df11aa5aeb5df3

Hey guys! I finally got a little time at the table today. I washed the panel lines and cowl vent on the Fairlane. Shot a few coats of Tamiya clear on it as well. I decided to go with a smooth engine compartment. A little styrene and some sanding and filling and paint and that's that.  Next is the engine. I can't decide if I want the 427 side oiler or a SOHC 427. We shall see.
