    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.........
  5. fairlane1320
    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!

    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?

    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.
  20. fairlane1320
    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....
  24. fairlane1320
    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/
