Features Doing Falcons Right

How much are the quarters and where are they from? Can you get just the wheel well area without having to buy the full quarter?
I bought a quarter and wheelwell from a guy cutting up a ranchero then got the driver dogleg piece off ebay.

 

Still looking for a few pieces of trim for my 61 4 door wagon. Mainly need the bottom piece off the front passenger door.

 

They were 149 per side from classic2current fabrications its actually listed under the ranchero section not falcon. I kinda took a shot at buying them cause I didn't want to deal with a shorter panel. The wheel opening was gone up to the first body line on my wagon along with the lower section of the rear. I will say that the lowers rear section on the new panel is bent under with a crease not a roll so don't think that's was factory accurate and the wheel opening is probably not bent under enough but that should be workable. I didn't see just the center section available on their site. But I found this upon a google search. It should be what you are looking for.

If they are 6-cylinder cars, either will work.

 

61falconwagon showed me that there are trim pieces on EBay. I need the bottom piece on the front right door. The one on eBay is a front left door bottom piece.
Are they different? For my 61 wagon.

 

I assumed the bottom drivers door was the front left bottom. Ill look on my two door tomorrow and see if there different.

 

Thank you I messed up and typed driver. I also texted the guy on CL. Thanks for the link.

 

I called the guy with the ranchero, it is a 6 cyl/4 lug spindles . Will the upper and lower control arms work as well off that car? He said he'd take 130 for both sides from control arm to control arm with hub spindles etc. not sure if that's fair.

It's the same guy with the parts I'm looking at. I asked him to look at that passengers lower trim part on that 61 4dr.

$60 a side sounds good. Think about it they are already off and you can get anything worth anything for under a hundo. . Btw I have the same year/color wagon as you and the funny thing is it's sitting on my trailer. Lol

 

Ya gotta love starlight blue I think I'm keeping it.

That will all work, and is a good price.

 

He wont return my calls or texts so if you could can you please pick it up for me?
May want to tell him its for the guy in Reno so he doesn't think he can get a bidding war going. haha

I follow you on instagram. I wish mobsteel made 4 lug wheels.

I kinda like that paneling on the blue wagon.

I just scored a running 1966 7-main 200, and two 1980 250 heads, for peanuts. There might be a little more HP and TQ coming up, for my baby bird.

 

That's funny cause I scored a 67' 200 yesterday with c4 trans got the spindles too but as you already know they won't fit. I figure I'll sell them for something to off set the cost of the ones I'll need. Feeling blessed thank you Lord.
Not sure how much peanuts is but I thought a hundred bucks wasn't bad.

I am going to do a mild build on the 200. The 250 head already has hardened seats, and flows better than early heads. I am planning on milling the intake log, so the carburetor can get better flow, versus an adapter. Might do stainless valves too. Bottom end will be fresh stock, with ARP fasteners.

 

I was looking at my 200 today and it has the carb spacer that looks like this
What's the water lines for?

It was supposed help improve fuel atomization during cold weather.

...Boil the fuel in your carb! That's the first thing I disconnect on a Ford six, but bear in mind I wear a jacket at 70 degrees, too.

 

You Arizona people are weird.

 

(Oh, and you did not hear this from me, or ever on this board: I am considering TBI on the 200).

 

Alright falcon guys I have some questions some of you will say is stupid but o well. I WANT to keep 4 lug for the rear end. I. Trying to wiegh my options. As far as ive can tell a 8.8 rear out of a 5.0 87-92 might be too wide. 69-74ish? Maverick 4 lug 8 " can they handle a built 302? Some were 7.5 rears. Seem to be within specs of a stock rear. I am trying to do this in a 63 falcon any help or criticism is welcome. I already have my wheels and they are 4 lug and id like to be a bit different and not switch to 5 lug.

The Mustang 8.8 is 4-on-4-1/4", not 4-on-4-1/2".

The 8.8 pumpkin is large, and will keep you from lowering very far, before having to do surgery. Many models of 8.8 have an offset pinon, necessitating a new tunnel too.

I run a 1991 Ranger 8.8 in my '60.

Getting it in there required work.

It is 1/2" wider than stock. I re-drilled it for 4-lug, and turned down the registers to fit stock wheels.
