Very cool!!! Any chance I can buy a set of those decals?

Thx Michael! The brief AWB era produced some wild cars.

Well I wish I could take credit for the wheel openings, but this is a resin. This kit donated it's interior, chassis and a few odd n ends. Other than being too short in the front, the Comet chassis fit perfectly. I decided to cobble up a square chassis to replace the incorrect round tube one.

I've pushed everything else aside for my latest obsession, building this unique 1966 Fairlane AWB. It will be loosely based on the rather obscure Prestone Silencer car. A Hilborn injected Cammer will provide the power. An AMT Fairlane GT and a Kings Comet will donate to the cause.

I visited the Simone Museum last summer, saw some serious hardware.

I just scored another Mav, thinking of doing the Ford Drag Team.

Look forward to these for sure! I just picked up a Motor City '63 Fairlane. Where did you get the hood for yours?

Check this out, same day...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZHGJsrXASM

The Farmer posed with his old Comet for me at the 2013 Detroit Dragway Reunion.

That reminds me of the Oven Fresh Bakery trucks in my neighborhood when I was a kid.

I've got a couple of '63s I'm trying to decide which verisons to build. Do you have any color shots of Ritchey's car?

Some 1960 Starliner kits come with these 427 Galaxie headers.......

So relieved to see it's a FORD Hemi.

Sorry, I do not. The one you posted is the only one I've ever seen.

Thx!

I'm shopping for a C-600 to build another Ford Drag Team hauler. The Pepsi truck has the correct wheelbase. Does anyone know if these kits are all the same wheelbase?

Here's some pix....

Alan, I'm interested in these two....

It's a Crane Cams decal, Les Ritchey had a yellow one on his silver Mustang. I'd be interested in a set of those decals too. Thx Ron

It's an easy swap, very little mods needed. I wouldn't call that sleeper integral, it's an add-on. http://public.fotki.com/fordflashback/125-ford-drag-team-1/1969-c600-drag-team/

You trust Wikipedia?

Very nice! Those '67 LTDs have a unique look with the small quarter windows.

I realize this is a 10-year old post, but I'd like to find the source of these Ford cast iron headers. I checked my kit stash..... 1960 Starliner, 1961, 63, 65, and 66 Galaxies.... and did not find them. Thx!
