Good looking hot rod, Chief. I remember those Fairlane Thunderbolt days. Only a few 427 cars ever made...Tasca had 1 of the few and best runners at the track on the eastern seabord. They were regulars at Ct. Dragway, Orange, Ma., Sanford, Maine and Charlestown, R.I. All old new england NHRA 1/4 mile tracks that are long gone.... WJ

Thanks for the compliments on my car - I loved the 66/67 Fairlanes since I drove them as a kid. Can't afford to build it in a day now that I took on a family man role But I'll get 'er done!
The Lemans went bye-bye and you believe that bastard parted it out and just used the body shell Oh well - it was $$ needed.
Good to hear from you all and I'll be trying to get at a LVD rental day soon....

Chief
p.s. I have my 00 16" twisties with tires and a complete k-member still if anyone can use them.

Hey Chief, PM Griff (BADFNZ-383) about the k-member. He might be interested, especially since he already has his motor out, which will make for an easy install.

Opps! I thought you had one of the BMR type light-weight k-members! Oh well, he'll get a kick out of it, anyways!

I knew that was coming! But it's not my fault, it's Chief's for not being clear in his post! Even you thought it was a BMR k-member when I talked to you!

******* Chief! Back a couple of days and already getting others in trouble!
