1967 Ford Fairline 500 XL Convertible Interior
Ed thinks that Ford had it right when they designed this interior. Hence, you're not going to see any custom work inside the car. You'll just find a correct restoration and a few modern gauges giving the driver all the information needed. The wood steering wheel and floor console are both options. The wheel is very rare and is a nice finishing touch to the perfect interior.

Making big power is no problem for a healthy FE, especially when there's a blower involved. The Paxton Novi 2000 Supercharger force-feeds the engine through a carburetor enclosed in the airtight doghouse. The excellent detailing under this hood is a pleasure to behold.

As you can see from this photo, room for the blower-drive assembly was scarce. However, with careful planning and fitment, there was still enough room for an electric fan installation and custom-made shroud. The mechanical fan would never have fit in this confined space.
