This is our 67 Fairlane 500 that I nicknamed "Flossy" for my wife and the childhood nickname her grampa invented. In process for a complete restoration. Pimpin her ride!

Here is the nearly finished product and then many pictures of the road to get here:

Here are the photos when I first bought it in 2006. Yes it says "Hotrods" on the side.

First we decided to do body and paint, maybe I should have started with the mechanicals but I couldn't wait to get it looking better. Here is some pix of the two tone Foose inspired pearl white and metallic green paint in progress. Almost all badges and trim have been shaved for a smooth clean look. I wanted to shave the door handles but... maybe later.

Paint and bodywork by Steve Hammersmith in Salem Oregon, he is magician as you can see.
Interior redone by Restyle Upholestery of Philomath OR, Gary is an expert and in my opinion does the best work for the price that you'll find anywhere! These are the old seats and door panels.

Here are the new dubz going on it. 20" Verde rimz and 30/35 series rubber, Now all I need is that pancake action to really slam this F-Lane to the weeds. Airbags will eventually do that for me. You stocky wheel dudes can choke on the rubber I'll burn from the 10" rears.
