Hot Rods Gasser Gasser Gasser!! 1962 Falcon Futura with a Nailhead??

Man I can't wait to see that done that will be badass........love them gassers..

 

Exxxxaaaactly what I was thinking!

 

Hows about "Nail-bird" ??

 

I will preface this with thread this statement:
huh?

 

Makes perfect sense to me. Should be a very cool car. Can't wait to see it. Keep us posted on the build.

 

Nic, you don't even know what preface means. Now go watch your extreme bro tv!

 

I wonder if all this was said when the first guy showed up with a 350/350 in his Ford. Everyone had an opinion.

I think it's pretty cool.

 

6x2 nailhead? who's compaining- it's not a musclecar. That's some uber cool shit!

 

This is pretty much the exact thing I am going for. I love this car. Is it still around?

I'm probably going to do a buggy spring/radius rod setup like it as well.

Radiused fenderwells using mustang fender lips is also on the list.

i cant seem to find a name for my 61 falcon gasser with a small block dodge. but yours just screams to have NAILED on the plate.

 

I like it, definately not common, but still could of been possibly done then.How about "NailBird"?

 

Falcon / Buick = falick

 

now that's funny

 

Lenny "Pop" Kennedy ran a nailhead Gran Sport in '65 and did real well with it. So did some '66 Sports.

 

" Falick " Half Falcon, half Buick !!!. Hey you could even change the spelling for a laugh

 

Should be killer! Just like back in the old days, take what ya got and biuld a car and go have fun! That's the way the low buck guys did it years ago. Keep us posted with pics of the build.

 

Clueless....

Amongst others...

That at actually works, it will be a buford either way.

 

Call it
'Nailin the Futura'

also like "Raped Ape"

 

I really think that "Buford" just absolutely "falcon'ed nailed" it!

 

"THAT FALCON BASTARD!" has a nice ring to it.

 

Some might call it "FOUL"con
seriously tho I like 69furys idea of just plain (NAILED)

 

so far.....we have "not bloody likely" and "nailed" as possible names.

 

This is the exact swap that I was seriously contemplating in the summer of '64, also had a Falcon and the Nailhead on hand, but just not enough scratch, or experience to see it through.
Don't let no one fool you, I and my teenage buddies were 'bench racing' over this exact gasser combo 'back in the day'. True, I didn't get it built (only 16 at the time) but we sure as hell gave it a lot of thought, and wanted to build it.
In '67 I did get around to the swapping of Buick V-8s into 2 different Falcon's,
however they were only the 'baby Nailhead' 215 inchers_ but could yank the wheels, and ran like stink through the first two gears.

 

A whole bunch of Falcon lovers are going to yell when you put the torch to that baby. So! Let um yell. I love the idea and will enjoy seeing the build. Gassers rule!

 

sell the cool nailhead and put a ford in the falcon.
or maybe i should call don moyer and borrow an amc motor for my falcon?
or not.

 

Built Ford Tuff with Buick Stuff? sorry couldnt resist

 

Sheeeeit, Scott...you're about three bubbles off plumb, but I admire that sort of thing. Glad you're right here in town...I've gotta stop by and check this latest project out. I recently did a wiring job on a 61 Falcon for a friend. His car is nice, but stock/high performance. Your idea is a whole bunch more inspirational.

What ever ended up happening with your 30 Model A sedan?

Man can wait to get some updates. Great idea to drop a Nailhead in.

 

No love for my suggestion?
