Features Falcons done right?

i love the 64 falcon grill. YOUR 64 IS REAL COOL.

 

nice falcon solid

 

thanks muncie. I love em(falcons), easy to work on, fun to drive, still kinda cheap. They look good all different styles. This is a cool thread.

 

no problem man same here

 

Thanks Dave. Despite my user name, I've never owned a Comet, nor really thought about it (other than the novelty and my nickname) until now. So I don't know anything about these.

 

I love mine so far. I'd recommend one to anybody. They're just the right size, and they're dead simple, plus because of the similarity to early Mustangs, there’s halfway decent parts availability both for resto and hop up.

heres a new pic of my 62 , on the stock frame and stock suspensions design

 

heres a shot of the motor before we did the bags

 

the new bags installed

 

and yes it does miss the blower

 

now that is one of more original bag set ups. we did bags on a buddies 64 fairlane wagon and it sits down on the exhaust. do you have a picture with the rim and tire off to see how you attached to the susp. And why the double ladder effect on the arm (for stiffing?). looks like I see a shock behind the airbag?

where is your exhaust?

 

Your Comet is fantastic. The engine is great and the bag system is a work of art..Are ya gonna brace the towers?

 

yes we are going to brace the towers but just from tower to tower , the double brace is a metering rod that keeps the bags straight as it go's up and down, and its attached to the bottom arm with a single rod with heim joints top and bottom , thanks for the complments , also there is a shock atached to the arm between the bag and pivot

 

love the design. how does it ride? would like to see other shots of how you did the blower manifold. great job.

 

Man! your merc is awesome dude!!!
that 6 banger must have screamed!
sure is alot of room in their with the 6, my v8 is tight as heck in their

 

That is a badass airbag setup, I wouldn't mind seeing some more shots of how you put it all together.

 

i just got the driveshaft back because i did a trianglated 4 link and shortened the a 8in , im runnin 14x7 1/2 on the rear and 14 x 6 on the front it should be running maybe by july , i work on it in the spare time my buddys shop has so few and far between

 

Heres a few pics of my xp falcon...

...this is with the front suspension out, ive been reading up on some of
the ways you guys have bagged your falcons so i can start on the front now that i have a few ideas..




p.s. flaked62merc were did you pick that valve cover up from i love it!

 

Slammed xp what did you do to get the arse end so low? looks sweet!@

 

Wow! your 62 makes my 63 look lifted. If thats the stock suspension, did you have to notch the frame above the bottom control arm? And do your ball joints bind pretty bad when it's aired out? I really like the astros on there, makes me want to do a 5 lug swap.

 

my shit heap daily.....

Just had to add a couple more Falcons to the thread...

 

Wow, I love the soap green color on the '60 Ranchero (US equivalent)!

Thanks,
Kurt

 

I love Aussie Falcons. They remind me of old advertising art when they would create a “typical” American car - they look mostly like a U.S. Falcon, but with just enough differences to make you go “What is that??”

I like this one, I ran into a old friend from high school last year that still has her 64 just sittin the back yard... She knows not to sell to anyone but me...

 

I took some pics recently of the Falcon and my wife. Here is one of them.


And we just got some skinny whites put on a couple days ago.
(picture is kinda dark...sorry)

 

Found this one in the Wikimedia commons.
