Craig Sutton driving the Delta Ford Thunderbolt at South Mountain Dragway, 2004.
-----------------------------------
In 1964, exactly 100 Fairlane 2 door sedans were partially built by the Ford Motor Company and shipped to Dearborn Steel Tubing for completion. These cars were finished as drag race-only machines for Super Stock, Super Stock Automatic, and A/FX class competition. Many had glamorous careers, while some had accidents with tragic results.
Today, Thunderbolts are highly valued collector and nostalgic racers. Many are still known to exist, and most that aren't around are known to have been wrecked.
Please mail me if you have any pictures, history or anything associated with these awesome, once in a lifetime cars. Thanks!!

**UPDATE 07/27/08**
Please let me know if you have any ideas or contributions for my upcoming site makeover. I plan on redoing a bunch of my stuff and changing it up a little. I'd love to include more stories and photos, so if you have any ideas, pictures, or recollections send them to craigsutton427@yahoo.com. Thanks!
-----------------------------------------------------
Got a little bit of motivation today to work on both the Fairlane and the website. A big thank you goes out to Garry Catalano for dropping off my 427 block today!! Everybody keep pestering him to finish his 427 powered pickup, and I'll keep working on the website.
