Projects Roxie II project 1963 Falcon bagged and shaved

Seriously diggin' on the Minilite type wheels!

 

Seriously. Always liked those.

 

Thanks... took a chance and ordered a set , they usually put them on Datsun Z's but they look awesome. And fit in very nicely

 

Thanks actually bought a 63 valiant front bumper , matches the point in the grill and hood. Since it is so thin, there needs to be a lower valance to cover the front subframe. So I picked up a 69 camaro lower valance and will use the marker lights as blinkers.

 

One of the best wheels other then steelies, best part is they are 4 lug !

 

Looking good!

 

Dumb do you even lift?

looks good at that ride altitude.

 

Looks awesome great stance! What set-up are you using to get the front that low?

Cheers

16" rims look so good on your roundbird. Good stuff! How is the spacing between the back of the rim and the balljoints?

 

its about a 1/2" away. if you step up to a 17 the rim will clear completely over it

 

Very Nice!!

 

Those early hardtop Falcons are so bitchin'. Excellent choice on the Minilites and the lowered stance is perfect.

Any new ideas on the front bumper? I kinda like the original one the best, personally.

 

Absolutely beautiful,,you did a great job. HRP

 

I love Falcons and this one especially.

 

Thank you everyone for the kind words . Has been awhile since I updated this thread . But there will be more to come hopefully in the next couple weeks with the front bumper and lower valance

 

Damn that car looks good!

 

car looks damned good. I'd advocate for getting rid of the door handles too.

 

Thats a killer round bird hard top ! Im trying to decide on final wheel selection myself. Using 5 lug spiders with trim rings on 68 mustang 14" wheels, with 215/60s for now. I did the shelby drop on the upper control arms, and cut 3/4 of a coil out or the springs. Good drivable static drop. Evil....Im looking to mount mirrors like you did. How are they mounted ? Thanx man.

Pictures take a min. to open, high res photos.

 

Shoebox that thing looks like a killer start! Love the grill how did you take out the centers? They are just normal aftermarket driprail mirrors attached to the butterfly window

 

Looking good! I personally dig the original door handles. There's something to be said for a little originality and chrome.

Really like it. Great Job.

 

Cool on the mirrors Evil. Car did not have a grill when I got it, so I had to build one. If I get it drivable by August, Ill try to make it to Sturbridge. Im not too far away. Dave

 

Hell yea ! They are talking about having the falcon nationals in RI for 2015 . Would be cool to see over 500 falcons !

 

Yea that would be cool! What do you think it would run me in parts to bag my bird? Compressor, manifold, tank, bags etc..... are there brackets available that can be modded for our birds ? I have replaced every component in my front end with new 1965 parts, and have also done the Shelby drop. The rear end is stock 8" with stock springs. Thanx man. Here is a shot of the grille I made. Its 1/2" steel tube welded to three custom brackets that fasten to all the orig. mounting points.

 

Heres the trunk. Will be finishing the whole thing in aluminum riveted . I almost like the floating look with black

Depends what bags and system you run accuair is about 2500 and ridetech bags another 900 for the front. But there is cheaper systems out there. Around . 1500 or so. The ridetech shockwaves were nice since they were practically bolt in in the front bolting right to the control arm
