Regular bloggee Senator Chinchilla is back with another real-world replica. This time it’s a 1967 Ford Fairlane, and it’s a lovely understated and classy build. But that’s not really the Senator’s style, and nor will it earn him many extra points in TLCB Summer Building Competition. But any car can be improved by the liberal addition of a flame paint job!

Like racing stripes, flames are worth at least an extra 50bhp, fact. Which makes the Senator’s updated Fairlane pictured below really quite fast. You can see more of this classic ’67 Ford on Flickr – click the link above to fire up the grill.
