Re: 65 Fairlane pro-touring build
USPS delivered the door seals today. This is only notable because I ordered them on 9/16/2022 - over a year ago. Thankfully, Rubber the Right Way hung in there and was able to finally fulfill the order. Hard to believe the supply chain is that fragile. Glad I didn't wait until I actually needed them. At least now they can sit in storage and get good and hard before installation.

I've been welding and grinding and welding and grinding on the floorboards. Both subframe connectors are fully welded in and most of the main cabin floor pans. Cut out the tunnel and a section of the firewall so I could test fit the engine. I need to clearance a few places to make the headers fit a little better but other than that, it fits pretty well. The trans sits a bit higher than I thought it would but shouldn't be a problem. Looks like I'll need to make an extension for the shifter to move the ball further back. Otherwise, I'll be busting my knuckles on the dash. Unlike the wagon, I have a ton of room between the front of the engine and the core support. Fitting a heavy-duty radiator and a high flow Corvette fan should be easy peasy. If you squint really hard, it almost looks like a car.
