Features Falcons done right?

another

 

that was a good buy....I almost bought it....let me know if you sell!

 

I was thinking of that (and asked you about it) but with my 245/60/14 tires, I just shifted the leading edge forward about an inch to get an overall even gap. As far as exhaust, I've been told if you shim the center brace down an inch you can squeeze two 2 1/4" pipes in there.
I like your rollbar. Is that homemade or an adapted off-the-shelf item? Do you have a rear seat? What is it attached to in the back?

 

I did make the roll bar. It is 1.625" Chom Moly. The rear stays go to the panel that the rear seat would sit against, If I still had a rear set in it LOL

I might look at that for the exhaust, but to be honest since I run the pipes out in front of the rear wheels, it isn't really an issue.

 

Quarters in first coat epoxy:

 

Looks real straight.

 

I'm trying to install a '65 p/s system on a '63 but missing the ram bracket, frame holes and a hose bracket. Does anyone know the part no. for a 1963 p/s hydraulic ram bracket? does this bracket interchange with 64.5-66 mustang? Has anyone had to locate one on an early frame rail thats not stamped with the holes already in it? How do I figure out where to drill them? also missing the hose insulator frame bracket is this the same as mustang as well? - thanks

 

I came across this image while looking for something else (which isn't unusual for me) and wondered if the experts around here could give some background. From my reading here (I haven't read the whole thread...yet) it seems that Holman and Moody built three of these for rally/road racing, but I don't know if they competed in the US or internationally. I saw the tricked out one on page 34, and it got my creative juices flowing. I'm going to get my ideas down in pixels, but I was curious about this beast.

 

someone had posted some pics of the correct assembly for v8 motor mounts cant seem to find it now

 

I finally got my Falcon lettered yesterday.... It's getting closer to being finished...

 

Mine's finally done!

Briefly the specs are:

- 1975 Maverick 250 with Classic Inlines head, Comp 260H cam, Autolite 2100 2bbl, and 9:1 compression.
- 1984 Mustang GT T5 5-speed.
- 1970 Maverick 8-inch with 3.80:1 gears and a Detroit Locker differential.
- Upgraded shocks and rear springs.

It’s still fresh and I haven’t beat on it yet, but it’s clearly a moving machine. I’m very excited to drive it more.

 

Here's a few shots of my progress so far......

 

Definitely qualifies for "Done Right" Mike!

 

Right spiffy looking convert.

 

New Crites hood:

 

So you are getting all "fancy" on us now right. Looks great. But now all the locals will have second thoughts at taking on that old plain looking falcon.

 

here is my 64 falcon futura hardtop sandblasted the engine bay and inner fender. still need to do floor replacement

got a 260 and t-10 to install in it.

how she will be sitting with no work being done on her since the deployment


I am a member on TFFN and will make a build thread of it. and my plans.
the plans are to replace the floors, install and run the car. scuff and clear with satin clear

 

How much is this lowered and what size tires are you running?

 

How much is this lowered and what size tires are you running?

 

None in the front (although the springs may sag) and only about 1" in the back. Tires are 195/75R14 all the way around.

 

I am considering using that tire size too. I like how it fills the wheel well. Does the aspect ratio look ok? I was concerned that it would look like to much tire for the rim size.

 

I've been running that size since 2009 without any problems thus far. They don't seem to bulge or anything. I don't recall the exact width of the Maverick wheels, unfortunately.

 

I'm having trouble deciding on white wall size. 1" 2.5" or 3".

 

1". 3" is to wide for that car. That being said, I've seen some cars with the wide whites that you wouldn't think would look good, and they do.

 

Love this set up with the wheels ^^^

I'm guessing air bagged ?

 

Yes it is. 4 shockwaves all around thanks

 

Here's a picture of my '60. Swapped the grille out for a '61, threw on some new white walls and rebuilt the carb. Still needs some work but its getting there.

 

'64 that was at Sonoma last weekend. 50th Anniversary of Trans-Am this year so a lot of cars coming out of the woodwork.

 

That '63 dashboard in that '64 is intriguing.... WTF is up with that, I wonder
