This enterprising young Frat guy has put together his own Theta Xi tank to help him lay down the law on Dean Wormer.

Since I laid eyes on the Worlds Fastest Fairmont Wagon back in 2004, I have been on a quest of sorts. I had a few other projects that I needed to wrap up first, but fast forward to 2008 and you will find my 1964 Malibu SS is restored and my 1990 Mustang GT has transformed into a race car. The time has come for me to find a Fairmont wagon and build my next dream car.

At this point I am not sure if the car is going to get a turbo 5.0 Ford or an LS1, but I do know what I want to do with the suspension, Interior, and exterior of the car. I had a professional concept artist prepare the image below to keep me motivated.

If you know where I can find one of these wagon, in particular a Ford Fairmont Squire Wagon like the one in the picture above, send me an email. geoff@hotrodhomepage.com.

I came across these pictures a while back as I browsed around the Internet looking for automotive inspiration. I styled my 1964 Malibu SS with NASCAR inspiration, but these things are the real deal. Old race-car picture have a certain magic to them.

A couple of bad ass 1966 Chevelles fighting for position on the bank.

Notice the rolled front fenders and cut rear quarter panels. All in the name of fitting huge slicks.

I’d be smiling too, standing next to that monster.

I know that modern NASCAR spindles are derived from old b-body units with gigantic bearings and stout spindle pin, but what are these things? The look like something off a 1-ton truck.

Look at how much more trimming was done on the fenders of the 1964 Chevelle compared to the 1966 shown above. This is probably because the 1966 Chevelle has quite a bit more room in the wheel wells for tire. I can barely snug a 255 section width on the rear of my ‘64, but my ‘66 fits a 275 with not problem.

So do you think I managed to pay proper homage to the race-cars of old with my Malibu?
