Both original K codes.
The left picture of the Fairlane was less than a month, after I bought it, in July of 67. The right, about a year later.
Got the Mustang in '69, is a 65 1/2, originally a lime type green, I mix the paint for this color, based on the Aquamarine Blue but, more green & black in it.
Thank you, both, for the warm welcome.
RBB, I was with the 62nd Engineer Battalion. I was at Phang Rang from July '66 to Dec '66. We then moved to Long Bin and I came home in July '67.
I also started a FE project, a couple of months ago. 419ci, based on a '58 361 Edsel, into a '54 Ford.
I guess my first story on K codes, is that in '69, I held the H Pure Stock record, with my Fairlane. As you can see, I didn't have stock wheels on it. I ran under the record so, after finding that out, I used my spare tire and borrowed 3 other tires, form guys in the pits and got the record, on my first run. This with the early, small valve heads.
Hi, I'm a old man (76) but, I've always been a Ford racer, both drags and SCCA Formula Atlantic.
I bought my first K code, in July of '67, when I got back from VN and had saved for a year. It was a '64 Fairlane, Sport Coupe. Then in '69, I bought a K code, 65 1/5 Mustang FB and that same year, I bought another K code engine, with 2 x 4 intake and headers and put it in my Mustang.
I'm now building a Dyno Mule, 306 on a C8 block with a forged, 4340 crank and aluminum heads.
