1979 Fairmont Drag radial/x275 project - "The Cream Dream V2.0" by tirefryin_s10 & bmxarmy

3 minute(s) of a 183 minute read

Unfortunatley been pretty busy with some big projects in the shop as well as helping my parents do some work on thier acerage etc no worries though here is a little bit:



Got the rack all sandblasted and cleaned then just a skiff of clear coat to keep it looking good:



Then I got the front end all back together after some help from a buddy getting the ball joints changed (sorry about the finger Craig ) Just need to swap the front brakes to my other spindles as the guy who sold them to me lied and said they were v8 spindles when they are in fact 4 cylinder spindles and require a different strut:



Next up is a gamble I chose to take and that was on some "OBX" up and forward turbo headers.They are a cheaper ebay type header and are a LOT less money then the comparable stainless works etc headers but I must say I am actually quite suprised how good these look for the cost, they are stainless (probably lower quality stainless) all tig welded smoothed inside at the flange and come with V bands and clamps which fit great and have a nice register in the V band for sealing, If they crack or break we can beef them up overall I think they will work great!









Then I got the side glass out and cleaned up , next I have to clean all the rest of the glass and see if I can get the welding splatter off somewhat from when the cage was done then take it all to be tinted before going back in.






More updates coming soon!
