howdy Ya'll!!!!Your probably on your way to the morning commute doing whatever it is you do for $$$$. Its 4:07 pm here in ft. worth Texas on a beautiful sunday afternoon.
okay enough twang talk. Ive been building a 1981 ford fairmont coupe over the past year and thoughtyou guys would like to see an american drag car in the making. I started with a 4 cylinder/auto car that would barely pull itself to 20 mph.coughing,wheezing and slowly dying.I guess not bad for $400.00 US here are some the before pics 
dont pay attention to the missouri license plate,it got here eventually.

who the hell drinks Budweiser? it's an american beer. i'll enjoy myself a nice Victoria Bitter. lol. it's nice to see you can actually handwash your cars in the US. we can't due to water restriction because of the drought.

i didn't think the same model car could look so different between countries. this is my old 84 Australian Ford Fairmont. the 81 model looks very similiar.
by the way. those wheels aren't the standard wheels. i put them on. they are 1997 model wheels off a Ford Falcon EL XR8
