There has been a lot of people laid off at Source Interlink magazines in the last week and Steve Baur was one of them Friday. Not sure what will be done on the Fairlane now.
 
That car is absolutly eye-popping!
I guess, I am going to have to order some SPI red, just so I can see it for myself...
Beautiful job!

Yesterday I taped the grille and sprayed it semi gloss black let it dry over night and installed today





Wow! Fast turn over on the wire install? Looks good!
 
I forgot to take a photo of the front bumper showing all the surface rust and dents. The rust and chrome was ground and sanded off and epoxy primed. Had to do a little bodywork



Epoxy primed again



Sanded



Slick Sand



Block sanded with 180 and epoxy primed black so I could see if there were any imperfections



Sanded again and epoxy primed white





Three coats of SPI red next day three coats of clear







Sandblasted bumper bolts before priming and painting

 
The rear bumper needs a lot of work



After straighten, welding and a lot of grinding and sanding I sprayed at least 3 coats of SPI epoxy and started the bodywork



After a few times of block sanding and priming I sprayed 3 coats of SPI Red the next day 3 coats of SPI Universal clear

 
Looks stunning ! Glad to see that you're still working away on it. I see that Steve Baur still wrote the editors column, did he stay on with the magazine ?

That was his last column and was already written. He was asked if he wanted to change it and he said no. Steve is a freelance writing and is still writing for all the Source Interlink Mustang magazines as well as others.
 
Autometer Elite tach and gauges installed. You can read all about the install in the August issue of Modified Mustangs & Fords magazine

 
I have been busy working on customer cars and have not had a lot of time to work on the Fairlane. We now have the headliner installed and the seats.

 
Brian made patterns of all the interior trim panels out of poster board



The patterns were sent to Scott Rod Fabrications in Toledo Ohio and were made in aluminum.





NHRA requires the interior trim panels to have upholstery on them so I had Mike at Mike's Tops in Port Richey cover them in cloth.





Mike also covered the rear seat area with carpet. It looks a lot better in person

 
Coming together. You guys are really quite incredible. I would never have thought of making the panels out of aluminum and having them covered.
