Right turn Clyde -
Back on the bench after the long holiday break, making the injector tubes fit...

Your favourite Box art

I made the mistake of asking when the F100s will be available. I had to walk away from the table.
-
Chassis is painted and assembly is ongoing. Injector stacks will require some notching the cowl panel.
-
Thx Steve....I have a bunch of time into it!

Can you fuse two cars together?
fairlane1320 replied to Blackkat13's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I need to fuse a couple of Broncos -
It's coming along, building a matching ramp truck too....
-
Thx! Yes it will be RHD like the real car it's based one......
-
Very nice work!! I wanted to tu-tone the interior on one of my early Comets, but ran out of talent.
-
The modified roll cage came from an AMT '69 Torino Cobra kit. Yes, it's right hand drive!
-
I made a jig to make the front upper support bar, it's similar to the 60s stock car. It also serves to support the body under the front fenders.
-
The front support bars are next. The Comet kits bars didn't fit, so I had to make these up too.
-
The front suspension is from the AMT '66 Fairlane, slightly modified.
-
I decided to use Thunderbolt traction bars, but they didn't fit. So I made a similar set.
-
Since this is not a "gasser" that's all jacked up, the ride height will have to be adjusted. The Comet rear axle and springs had way too much arch, and the axle housing didn't really look like a 9-inch. So, I used the axle and springs from the doner Fairlane kit.
-
The tiny trans tunnel needed to be opened up to accommodate the C-6 Trans. Another challenge!
-
The assembled frame.........
-
The rear frame rails were also tubular, and these were molded into the floor plan. So I ground then out and went about making a square tube rear frame to match the rest. I also lengthened the rear floor pan. The rear rails were a bit of a challenge!

Camp Crystal Lake Truck

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.
