Andretti Fairlane.

Built this one a few years back. Always loved the look of these cars. My first car was a 1967 Fairlane.

 :)  Very nice, Jackie.  Is that one yours personally ?  I believe I saw Andretti race that car at Daytona July race in 1967.  Cannot remember if he won, or he was the one that did the long side thru the tri oval.  50+ years ago, and I am old.  lol

Beautiful build. Do you have any more shots from different angles? I'm thinking about doing a Fairlane.

Super build.  Did you have to do any surgery or is it OOB?

Thanks everyone. I did some body work on the wheel openings and flared the fenders a little, along with the gas filler in the quarter. Just to get that right look. I did several of the Fairlanes and have some more I want to get to eventually.

A great replica! Those Fairlanes made sharp-looking race cars.
