Response to new here and gonna do a 66 fairlane GTA

I know of at least 3 here, depending on how you define "pt", I guess.
Just for discussion, I'm defining it here as having 4 wheel discs
+ some kind of handling mods. all have more than a stock 390
as well:


Brian Gray: http://www.supermotors.net/vehicles/registry/7061
???: http://fairlaneforums.easyphpbb.com/viewtopic.php?t=1312 (can't remember his name, but he posts here)
mine: http://www.cs.odu.edu/~mln/fairlane/

If I had it to do all over again and I was starting with a project where
everything needed replacing anyway, I'd strongly consider a MII kit.
But I'm not hung up on originality, others may feel different. One
thing about a MII kit is that it is not "reversible".

My recommendation would be to make it look stock on the outside (GT stripe,
etc.), but go for more than just a stock 390 & drivetrain. That probably won't
hold your interest too long.

Jay Brown (a moderator here) had a CC article about how to build a budget 390:

good luck.
