I chose to give away the original vinal look and go all out with leather and match the exact original vinal look.Got to give credit to Crawford Motor Trimmers.The finish is awesome

Sweet '64, thats for sure! Great work you did on the fairlane. I was wondering what size tires you have under your car, those are not the original sizes? I placed 15 inch 205/60 under mine (this is in mm; schould be 8.07inch width and 24.4inch diameter). They keep rubbing against the inside off the back fender. (still wondering if a sway bar would help. Keep up the good work

Hey man, that Fairlane is coming along fantastically. Just wanted to say thanks for the heads up on RSS- you obviously know how hard it is to find parts for 64's! I should be finishing my restore this summer, and I'll definitely be keeping RSS as a valuable option. Keep up the good work and thanks again!

Nice Fairlane ... what did you use for the front strut suspension? I have a '64 two door and want to do the same. Email me if you could at fordfanatics@mindspring.com

I have to say 5 stars for this beauty. Excellent match on the interior. Did you match the original exterior color also? Hard to tell from the pic when you were a lad.
