My '64

[fordmike65]

Thought I'd post a pic of one of my projects. My '64 Fairlane SC has been my daily driver for over 10yrs. It's been upgraded with a 5.0(carb),AOD trans,deeper rear gears,front disc brakes,bigger rear drum brakes,custom floor shifter & functional side-pipes. I still have to finish some wiring work under the dash & install all new interior. This pic is on the way home from the bodyshop. Got the door handles shaved,poppers installed,'64 Galaxie taillights frenched in,top done in pearl white,rest in low-gloss HotRod black, bumpers chromed,wheels powdercoated red,new headliner installed & all new weatherstrip. Between this,my '65 Fairlane SC 4spd,'65 Comet Caliente & now my CB350 Cafe project, I'm gonna have my hands full & my wallet empty for quite some time.

I dig it man. I've got a '65 Fairlane sitting in my garage waiting for me to get the cash around to buy a new drive train for it. It's good to see more mild customs coming out of the woodworks.

Looks good man. Some nice subtle mods that enhance this ride beautifully.

Nice! I used to have a '63 Comet.

Fun cars. Mine was a pretty quick in an 1/8mi. But it got too small when the third kid came along. Traded it for a '62 Galaxie. Love that era.

Nice grille. I'm diggin' the red on black & sidepipes too! I restored/upgraded a '62 Comet Custom for my sis a few years ago. Swapped out the drivetrain for a 200,C4 & 8". Was her daily driver until she got prego with my lil' nephew. Currently working on my GF's '61 Comet. I also have a '65 Caliente 2dr HT. Upgraded with frt disc brakes,AOD & 347". Hoping to get going again on my '65 Fairlane SC 4spd. Got a 408" short block so far. Should be fun

Recognize the grill? Its a bunch of VW bumper guards!
You can't see it in the pic, but the lid was metal flake. We put a roller 302/ 3 speed with Trick flow heads and some hotter cams. Fun stuff.


Here's my Galaxie 500

Nice! I used to run the Lancers on mine for a couple of years. Then picked up a nice set of '57 Ford wheel covers & been running them since. Been thinking of making up some kind of custom grille for mine too. Nice to see more Fords out there. Gotta finish mine up. I miss driving it. You don't get too many looks driving a '95 Grand Marquis : . I used to get so many thumbs-up & phone numbers cruising the Fairlane.
