Thread: Meller's "Last" Hoorah - '62 Fairlane

Somehow I missed this thread when it started, but then, I don't get email notices of new posts on subscribed threads anymore either.

Anyhoo, I like this rig! That cam almost sounds like one of those Thumper cams. I'm into lower so the stance suits me fine, but you know how it rides. I'd do the tire thing first before chucking the blocks just to sneak up on it. For my tastes some body color wheels and dog dish caps would be just enough..............the full on sleeper look except for stance.

As for the age deal, Ken has the right plan, think young. Of course our hardware betrays us, but don't go down without a fight. On another board there's a thread comparing arthritis ails among others, and the participants are many. We've become our grandparents!

I like your thinking on the wheels, Bob, maybe even go with a +1 or +2 in wheel size & width, sorta like this one except with body color steelies & dog dish
caps...1962_ford_fairlane_500_by_vertualissimo-d50sw93.jpg

Buddy of mine in Mass. is supposed to be sending me some Furd Dawg Dishes and he said they would double for cat dishes if needed. I'll definitely put more rubber on before and suspension wrenching.

Randle, that's a little too extreme, even for this "Rebel" !
