• STARTED GETTING READY.... for some decals that I'm going to have made, so along with the Buick this Fairlane is on the hit list. PIX and thanks for looking.
  • The hood trick reminds me of old VW bugs, The rear hood would be gapped greatly at the top I guess to let more fresh air in . *NM*
  • What year Fairlane is this Frank? *NM*
    • 65 *NM*
      • One more question Frank, what is the source for this body? *NM*
        • 1965 annual kit.... It was later chopped up to become part of the modified stockers series. *NM*
          • Probably unobtainable any more eh? I know the modified kit is out there. *NM*
            • Just looked on ebay, for $795.00 plus $14.95 shipping I could have one. LOL! Nope, not today. *NM*
              • As many a young Romeo learned innaday: Asking ain't getting. If you want a nice Fairlane for the shelf, snag a tidy promo and the Mod Stocker kit, you will have 99% of the original kit.
            • Not sure who to credit, but, the latest Mod Stock release has a lot of the annual still left on the trees
  • That Fairlane is very cool! the GTO's you did were cool too! *NM*
  • I'm digging' it - Square cars are my favorite ! :-) *NM*
  • WOW! very kool,,,,but those rear shackles.....kinda iffy to my eye. *NM*
    • Those aren't shackles they are traction bars... I've never seen ones like that go to the rear but in looking under the car they were not part of the spring. *NM*
      • HMMM...Thanks for clearing that up...never seen that before! *NM*
    • Here is a picture of those trac bars
      • To me, they still don't look beefy enough to do the job. *NM*
      • Frank, you have mail! *NM*
  • I once had TWO AMT '65 Fairlane kits. But. Like many poor choices I've made, I sold both. How was I to know the Stock '65s would be gone FOREVER!! *NM*
    • Well. I'm hearing that one might be on the too do list for Round2 and the trophy series sometime soon.....
