    I love those cars! I used to build models of the gassers and altered cars when I was a kid. Definitely Nostalgic!!:yup:

    Good luck with it, looking forward to seeing the progress.

    Nice wagon, Blown76mav!:thumbs2:

    Sweet Fairlane wagon.

    Last year, was visiting a shop in Texas, a guy was building a Thunderbolt 64 Fairlane wagon......every detail matching the Thunderbolts of the 60's, on a wagon.

    As far as my Falcon goes, I'm having a blast looking at wide Halibrands, skinny slots, fenderwell headers, wheelie bars, beer keg fuel tanks, and yard-long ladder bars....

    Hilborn stacks fuel injection....

    He-heh....I'm downright giddy

    They were sweet in their time and lend to great things, I just think they are ugly.

    Now you need to join the H.A.M.B. if you're not already a member. Lots of info on the old gassers over there. Parts for sale sometimes, too.

    Nice car, I've always liked that bodystyle.
