Wrecks to Riches | S2E3 | Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt

When it comes to cars, Barry's mind is never far away from the drag strip. He's now set his staff to finding a '64 Fairlane to become nothing less than a Thunderbolt.
What plans: a 427 V-8 engine, fibreglass hood, over-sized rears and racing seats, and it will be street-legal. Everyone's excited, including his regular parts suppliers. Two guys from O'Reilly's turn up to pitch in for the build. It's a laugh a minute as they verbally wrestle Barry about who knows best.
And there's more; rather than risk an open auction as usual, Barry's going to start his own... at the Speed Shop! Barry, Becky and Chris hope to round up some high-rollers to duke it out in the bidding. Barry's DIY auction is a first. But if he can convert his building skills into entrepreneurship he stands a chance. And there's no commission!
Becky and Jen become event managers, a first for both. Will they have to block off the street? Who's doing the catering? What about parking? Permits? Auctioneer? The event snowballs into a logistics nightmare.
And there's another wildcard; paint and body guy Tony starts thinking he might just bid for the Thunderbolt himself! Barry has no idea. This could be their most eventful auction yet.

[@corrinetaylor6471]

Long live the FORD Fairlane xxxx

[@quickdeuce]

Watching the auction, that lady in white who appparently works for the auctioneers needs to have her ass kicked for touching, leaning on, laying her body with buttons and buckles across the car while the bidding's going on. Hopefully Barry or the new owner have told her - if that car has ONE SCRATCH or scuff, just ONE - YOU sweetcheeks are paying full bore for a complete repaint! We see people like this all the time at car shows, leaning on, feeling, etc with no regard for the work and money it takes to do these cars,, can you believe how disrespectful some people who should know better are,, unbelievable!

I'm a chevy guy... But a thunderbolt is one of those Ford's I would love to own. Strangely enough the other would be a late 90s lightning

[@ronschlorff7089]

@Dave Micolichek Yup, was my first love in 64, saw it at one of the L.A. area drags for first time, can't remember, either Irwindale or Fontana, maybe a Winter Nationals, maybe Pomona, pretty sure not Lions, but we kids in HS were at all of them each weekend we could get away. Ended up with a 67 Cyclone, inspired by seeing Dyno Don at those drags. Even got it from Sachs and Sons in Downey. Those were the days until the "call to duty" came soon after in May 67!!! Now I'm back again going "back to the future"!! :D

as somebody else said Thunderbolts were not hardtops they were 2 door sedans . if the intention was to do a variant , there was no mention of it, they even showed a picture of a hard top and called it a sedan . I often think these sorts of shows are sort of phony

[@tetchgallery8494]

With a shop setup, I'd go with a proper crane and piss that engine hoist right off. Some custom period rocker covers on the mill wouldn't hurt either - something finned to retro the look of the engine.

Aaron Crowley: Those "reverse teardrop" hood scoop with the true cowl induction were the "hot" item back in their day and much sought after. I had a fiberglass hood with that scoop on my '63 Ford Fairlane with a 289 when I was in high school. Had to install it with the four pin setup though as they weren't renforced enough to be able to take the abuse that hood hinges and latches would have subjected them to. The pins with the slide on clips looked "cool though". Or so I thought at the age of 17. Then again, metalflake red steering wheels were "cool" too. Go figure.

[@ronschlorff7089]

Yeah, I have one of those fiberglass teardrops on my 64 Caliente; it looks really bitchin' on that little red car, an A/FX touch. Has a 302 in it but the hood makes it look like it might be a 427. My hood is really sturdy and takes the hinges at back and pins up front!!

It was a really nice restoration. But calling it a Thunderbolt is a joke. I have never seen so much misinformation about a Thunderbolt. You would think a car show would be a bit more responsible.

Firstly they're persistently grouping this car in with the FordThunderbolt,, well,, it's really cool but anything close to Thunderbolt is it being a '64 Fairlane and the fiberglass fenders and glass bubble hood. Many of us are suspect of these guys doing a job like this under such rediculous time constraints. From a quick drive by this one looks really cool, but just how good can it be when slammed thru Barrys shop so quickly. Just like the legendary Chip Foose and a group of others doing these redu and flips under stupid time constraints - SOMETHING WILL BE A SHORTCUT which will be the demise of an unsuspecting buyers dream. Just say'n,,

[@dafontenot]

I don't understand how they make any money. With 340 work hours at $100 an hour (average garage price) that's $34K, plus another $42K at least for the car and parts that's a total of $76K. It sold for $65K, which means they're in the hole $11K.

[@overcastfriday81]

100/hr is the retail rate for outsiders. Realistically, say the garage labor costs the shop 35/hour. That's 54k, leaving 12k. Say his overhead at the shop there is 6k (especially, electrical utility and lease) per month. That leaves Barry with 6k in profit to pay his own bills (mortgage, utilities etc). I think he can make a go of it only because he runs an efficient shop, and we're assuming he pays next-to-nothing for office workers. If he paid them generous salaries, this doesn't work. A high caliber rod in 1 month is an amazing feat, even with his resources.

I get what your saying. But profit is what keeps the lights on and the doors open...and as a matter of consequence keeps the employees fed. With a car as coveted as this one is likely to be you've got to maximize your profit. Also, disappointment is a huge part of life, Trust me I know all about this. Tony Im sure understands that. It sux he didnt get the car. But, now there's a pile of cash in his pocket and he can go shopping for a different one.

Sorry Tony that u lost outon buying the car but for Barry it all about the money no Loyalty did not even care u lost ou !

[@HammerHeadGarage]

If you're so damn worried about getting the car done on time, quit with the crazy deadlines?

[@tracys4161]

That's all drama that makes for good TV.

[@ronschlorff7089]

Yup, lots of "dry" old cars here in AZ, but beware of the snakes and scorpions while crawling under them, for a look see, at the wrecking yards, or even (especially) while they are parked in your drive way!! ;D

[@MrTankerTube]

[@mattrobertson8265]

wouldnt have used fiberglass panels lol

[@ronschlorff7089]

Yup, authentic ones did have fiberglass hood, fenders, bumpers, which is nice if you find a Fairlane body with a not too bad front and really good back end!!
