Just in time for your mag feature shoot. I hope.

just in time for the anti tour kickoff, interior goodness!

Since the po was intent on only drag racing this car it came to me with aluminum panels on the doors which are hot and noisy. My 12 yo son, who is finally beginning to show some gearhead inclinations, remarked sunday "I prefer the upholstered interior parts with armrest, Dad". I had to agree, but first I needed to figure out what to do with the terrible eggshell painted surfaces on the doors. A trip to my neighbors at Fantasy MOtorsports got some cool carbon-look vinyll applied to the doors and the checkered glovebox no one liked. then some repro doorpanels and armrests from Dearborn Classics finished the doors off nicely. I am super pleased with the outcome and happy no one bought it thus far. I like the carbon vinyl so much I may do the entire lower dash eventually

original appearance as I got the car from po note the ugly painted surfaces top and bottom



new door panels and wrap

I love those years of Fairlanes ..and the 2 door post part cooooool


We had a really cool dude, raced at our local track .. banged gears , older guy one day

People gripe about having to add a roll cage, but look. He was able to race on because of it. But a damn shame about the loss of the car. You guys treated him right, though. What happened to the "new" car? Hope Wilber's family is at peace - we know he is.

Willbur Barrett was his name

we all tossed money in a bag, a bunch of guys pitched in and within a couple weeks ..

He was back in action

WOW BD- that is a great story! too bad he didn't get another sedan, but you guys sure got him rolling again!

We lost Bill awhile back ..

He stopped racing to watch his grand daughters play softball ..

He was a cool dude and is not forgot about by many of us

Isn't it much more fun to drive than the Mini?

wellll-actually-it is a DIFFERENT KIND of fun-more fun? as much fun but not more-you really need to spend time in a 200 plus whp MINI to fully appreciate the entire automotive spectrum

Nice car, Scott! I LOVE that body style.

Now, drive the Anti Tour.

I will definitely hit the wilwood kick off, (one year late) but this boy has to work fridays AND saturdays and those 2 ply drag tires on the front wouldn't make Santa Maria on the freeway much less a trip up 33! Highway 33 is for my "other" car, LOL!
