Ford ZF Fairlane 33 Restoration

[@phillipm1039]

Omg yes you went with the original factory colour, while black show cases your brilliant body work, the white is going to look so sharp and classy.

[@sandocheese45]

[@BoyAnachronism01]

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Finally getting there aye

[@markbehr88]

Looking good Jason.

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Thanks mate, really enjoying the results now

[@Deano084]

Love the silver on the motor!

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Should look trick aye mate… black and silver

[@dustystuffgarage]

Com8ng along nicely!

[@Andrew-wt7uz]

Wow, the paint on those guards look amazing, great job mate!

[@BoyAnachronism01]

It was a brilliant first attempt aye mate. But there was one light on area so I had to go buy more paint as I didn’t budget on respirating any parts. so I then had to mix the existing paint with the new batch to avoid colour variations so Today I’m going to respray the front guards again.

[@daviddove4851]

Well done Jason all that hard work all that welding it looks really good can't wait to see finished mate .

[@BoyAnachronism01]

You and me both mate… the coupe is screaming at me to start on her lol

[@BoyAnachronism01]

We are close now mate

[@mangomcpoo475]

[@BoyAnachronism01]

It looks stunning too : ) crisp clean and straight as an arrow

She's lookin' good Jason!

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Pretty happy with it mate : )

[@TheMrShinagami]

Your making great progress Jason, I've never seen such attention to detail while painting an engine. She is going to look amazing when you put her back together!

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Cheers mate… yes even though I’m trying to wrap up the build really quickly now, I don’t want to take any short cuts… Thanks for hanging in there mate… hope all is well with you.

[@TheMrShinagami]

@@BoyAnachronism01 Everything is good with me, thank you for asking.

[@vigilante351]

Awesome man! I think you'll be happy with the colour as it is easy to maintain if there is an accident or a scratch etc. It will look super sharp too with those panel lines looking pristine!

[@BoyAnachronism01]

And the demonic power plant nestled in the engine bay : )

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Turns out I’m going to give the front guards another hit with colour mate…. There was a bit of light on on a couple of areas that after polishing revealed themselves. But the main reason for the respray was that I bought another 4 litres of paint just to be safe and I’m going to mix it in with the original batch so I have one consistent batch. Hope all is well with Amanda and your good self. Looking forward to catching up in Melly later this year.. we can go visit Pete too

[@hugelavalava]

Great work mate 👍

[@BoyAnachronism01]

[@wot3675]

With flame proof paints for headers, I find the best results and paint life is achieved by applying a flame proof primer first. VHT SP100 and SP118 are the flame proof primers (grey or white).

[@gmarshall1026]

Great stuff as usual Jason

Fire wall hole --> JB Weld cover plate from behind and skim of filler over front, no heat.

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Oh great idea mate! Thanks for the tip…

[@rescuedandrestoredgarage]

The car looks amazing, brother. You are doing an incredible job, man. Your 2-door Coupe is such a sweet looking car. Keep up the great content and work 👏. The wife and I have been going strong on the 72 chevelle and 62 Impala, and we found a 79 trans am Y84 k code car, we had to buy it and bring her home, lol. Have a great day, brother.

[@PeterAndersons]

Looks mint mate! Colour matching at your supplier is awful. Quite a while ago, I got some pale blue matched that may as well have been orange. I think they send more complex colours to Milsome's anyway - you should go see them instead. That car is going to look incredible!

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Yes mate she was a bad match indeed … hope all is going well with you

[@jackthomson73]

Nice job Mate 👍. Just a question about the heat paint on the headers. Does it have to be cured at a high temperature to fully set? I used similar paint on a fire pit and had to put all the pieces in a bbg and cook them. Cheers

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Gee not sure mate… sounds plausible tho. I’ll read the can next time in the shed ok

[@jackthomson73]

Awesome. Thanks for the quick reply. When I was younger I had a 73 fairlane. One of my biggest regrets is no longer owning it 🤦‍♂️

[@BoyAnachronism01]

@@jackthomson73 ahh yes mate, what we have let slip through our fingers as the years have gone by : )

[@phillipleeds296]

Hi Jason. Great progress, I think it will look very nice in that original colour. Your work on that waistline accent is much better than the factory, remember they looked a bit undefined when they were new. Cars with protector strips looked sharper! All the best.

[@WesW3187]

I like the colour. I’m not entirely sure what it actually looks like because I’m colourblind. It could be a bit darker or lighter 😜. It won’t contrast the chrome quite as well, but that’s okay.

[@BoyAnachronism01]

It’s a warm creamy white mate, and you are 100% correct in thinking about the chrome contrast. I have the same view. Hope all is well with you and the family mate

[@morantaylor]

Lol Pete's favorite color.

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Lol yes exactly mate

[@ellesmerewildwood4858]

I doubt that line was THAT straight when it was new. Glad you've gone for white, though I still cringe a bit at the thought of the vinyl top.

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Ha ha it’s all good mate… no rag top either. The roof it too good to hide. Plus I want the car finished asap

[@elmonteslim3711]

I prefer the white

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Yeah I’m glad I’ve come full circle on the colour options aye mate. That was its factory colour and it seems appropriate to restore the old girl in it.
