Back in 1967 I wanted to order a 427 Fairlane and was told it would take a year to get one why don't you order a Galaxie so I ordered a 427 Custom with the plan of racing it. When it came in (it was red) it had a 9 3/8 ring gear and nothing was available. I blew the engine up at 872 miles. The warranty was 90 days or 1200 miles. They fixed it under warranty and we sold it. I wish I had it today. What a rare car.

Never knew that Ford used the 9 3/8 rear on the '67 427ci full sized cars. Believe the steepest gear I've seen in those is 3.25.

Rusty, the car looks awesome!

I've not heard of the SPI paints before, and I'm in the middle of body working my Wagon.
Whats your thoughts on their product?
Is it something a amature can use in a garage?

That Red is beautiful, is that a white base coat or sealer?

That's a nice looking Fairlane and that red is really RED! I like it!
I know your putting steel wheels on it but if not that, consider the original style Centerlines.

I never said I was putting steel wheels on it.

It may be old school with leaf springs but the rest will be up to date.

I can appreciate that,,, the car is looking great. Maybe some day you can mount up a set of classic Cragar S/S rims for "special occasions". Nice project, Rusty.

I would use Keystone Classics like I had on my Mustang back in the 70's.

You mean Keystone Kustomags. That would look awesome! I have a set of NOS front 4" wide. They only prob. is I have 4.75 bolt pattern. I bought them for my 70 cuda ordered willwood brakes & they came with only 4" & 4&1/2 bolt pattern.So I ended up getting torque thrust pro wheels for it. If you want a mint set if the bolt pattern works for you p.m. me...Tom

All I have used in my shop since 2005 is Southern Polyurethanes Inc. epoxy primer, urethane primer and clears. SPI does not offer a lot of colors but now they have red, black, white and matte black or clear. SPI is made for the guy working out of his garage and has great customer service. The white is a reduced coat of epoxy which makes the SPI Red pop.

Thank you for your input on their product, much appreciated.
When your shooting a color that they don't supply, whose brand do you use?
