Features Falcons done right?

Davo, Also like the white walls. What brand and size? Are they available? Can only get 14" wide whites from Koker here. BIG $$$$

 

Been a while since I posted....pg 98 and 120...but Im getting closer to the finish line.....





....lack of money and time seem to be my hindrance.....

 

Looking very smart , I like it


.

 

Thought this was worth sharing. Jump started a 2010 Audi with full computerized airbag set up with the wagon. Took everything that generator had!

Soon to be busing the kids about, my first old car project. First, seatbelts. Leftover parts to be applied: Narrowed 9", some combination of spindles, rotors, balljoints and such, some seat work.

Trying to sort out some new wheels now. My axles and rotors are 4 3/4" pattern now...it's what I've got.

 

This fine lookin' Falcon was spotted by a buddy of mine just north of Richmond, VA:





Tow vehicle had NY plates....is this bird migrating south for the winter?

 

Have not seen this one before.

Pretty sure that's the one that was for sale here last October!

I'll be go ta' hell....there it is.

It was northbound, after all.

 

My Falcon is coming a long great

 

Holy Smokes!

I dig the altered wheel base- how far forward is it?

 

hey Kewl65, what is that colour? currently doing an XP wagon myself ready for a spray. so torn on colours. that blue is almost spot on my first preference.

 

That's a beauty!! Love the wagon!

 

I had to laugh a bit when I saw this. Somewhere in my photos I have a picture of my old Maverick jump starting my parent's 41' diesel motorhome! I called it I think I can, I think I can.... And it did!

 

My ranchero is starting to look right, that counts for something

 

This falcon has some nice touches.

We drive a '63 Falcon Wagon home a few weeks ago. It appears to be all stock. I'm hoping to beef up the drivedrive, brakes and suspension so we can pull a small vintage camper trailer. The first thing we are going to do is fix up the interior a little w/ new seat covers. I'm looking at a '79 Granada for a donor car. I'll still need to find a narrower 8" rear axle.

The car doesn't look this good. I think this photo was taken a couple owners ago.

 

10" in rear 4.5 front
Here's some new pictures

 

That's just......badass!

 

This car is coming along nice....I really like the headers!......Al

 

Started the final phase on my Falcon; bodywork. But after getting a good start on the worst of it, the engine on my Austin gasser developed a knock. So now I have to drop off the Falcon and do a rebuild on the Austin's 327 before it totally lets go.
I'll shoot some primer over the bare metal to keep things from flash rusting for now, and get back to it in a month or so.

The two rear fender lips I did on the radius are the next time consumers.

 

Nice wagon. The axle you want is an early 70's maverick 8" which is already the correct width. I found mine pretty easily on craigslist.

 

Lovin the post and pics, can't wait to get the new motor slapped into my Ranchero. Some great looking rides out there.

 

Here is my 65 Ranchero I just picked up. Not done right but will be soon.

 

Fellow Virginia HAMB'r ClutchDumpinDan just scored this cherry 1963 Falcon Sprint:







260, Cruisomatic, 3:10 rear (still has the tag) , original/correct chrome valve covers/air cleaner cover.....Ran the data tag- build date 7/30/63 engine assembly date 6/30/63. Loraine, Ohio assembly plant.







It's had a repaint, Rangoon Red, black interior-all original, Ford marked glass, never was undercoated, NO RUST!



He even got the fender skirts with it....



The Virginia safety inspection sticker receipts in glove box go back to 1974- there is no doubt in my mind that this car does, in fact have 31,000 original miles....

 

Hey....I recognize that car! You need to clean your camera lens...making my car look bad

 

VERY NICE! you did well



.

 

I posted it in my introductions post, but I finally managed to get it home to CT from NJ.

Also, not technically a Falcon - sorry.







Going to start by changing fluids this weekend and chasing what I think is a vacuum leak causing it to stall just after start and stumble on acceleration.

 

Who cares, it's still gorgeous and well worth sharing here!

 

Dude, yeah!
