Did anybody get pics of the Fairlane at Colombus? It was a deep red with satin gray on the hood, gray interior, and layin just about on the ground with some big rollers under it. I ran out of space on my camera.

This was one of my favorites. It was built by Doug Schultz that used to own Streetworks.

what does Doug do now and who bought streetworks?
That is a cool fairlane I might ad!

I don't know who bought the company from him, he didn't say. I'm sure someone on here will know. He did say that he has a "regular" job now. He works for the government doing some sort of metal fabrication. That's all the detail he gave other than when he walks out the door work is over and it feels good. LOL!

Really is a sweet car and to find one that nice to even start on restoring is tough they all seemdd to rust away over the years good to see one saved.
I actually was there Sunday when it was spraying fuel all over the engine compartment when an injector didnt seat and came out he was reall cool about it ecs when a million people were around asking what happened, got it fixed and parked great looking ride though love those different rides:thumbsup:

the coolest part was the 1/4 window handles, looked liked they would hit the roll bar, BUT he took apart a snap on ratchet and machined the handle on and the handle ratcheted the 1/4 windows down, worked killer and ingenious.:thumbsup:

The engine compartment looks like a giant injection molded part with that finish. I wish I had been there to drool over it in person!

Wow! That car is awesome. I have been talking it over with Steevo on how to black out the hood on my Fairlane and this defenitely helps alot.

That car was awesome looking in person, very clean engine bay. The flat gray (header paint) really added to the look. I had it in my top 5 as a wild card car.

Those are a discontinued wheel that Boyd used to make. They were polished billet, but Doug Schultz gave them a matte finish for a better look on his car. Check out the front suspension too.

The paint in the engine compartment is a custom mix PPG base coat/clear coat with flattener in the clear, the same paint is in the interior, on the hood, and on the wheels. Speaking of the wheels, they are Boyds, and they are called "hotrod". The anti-roll bar is nobody's kit, it and the bellcrank system were built for the car, the rear is the same, sans the bellcrank.

Welcome, I'm glad you made on here. I think you will really like it. I just wanted to say thanks again for taking the time to talk with us on Friday at the show. If our truck project turns out even close to your Fairlane I will be extatic. Your philosophy of not sacrificing function for form while still maitaining an awesome look is refreshing. I'm trying to follow the same route. :thumbsup: Later.

Great ride Doug! I know what opinions are like but this is guaranteed on my top 5 list and I am really not a ford fan. I Am a fan of form and function and this seems to have both... Hell I even had to call the boss into the dungeon and tell her if she would give me the checkbook I could roll her in style to her second and third job to pay for it... LOL
