My '63 Falcon/straight axle/gasser/street freak?

Here's my soon to be driver. 1963 Falcon, 302/auto(out of an '85 Mustang, roller cam, forged pistons) headers into 3" exhaust(yes I know it's too big but what the hell). 1966 Econoline axle with the springs flipped backwards and axle moved 2" foward. I didn't mean to put it two inches foward but I measured wrong and I like it! A good mistake so to speak. Radiused rear fenderwells, 8" rear('75 Mustang II) 3.50 gear and unknown locker.

It's gonna be fun!!!!!!!!!

And also 3 year-old Ed. He already knows the difference between a altered and a dragster. And he makes the correct vroomy noises! Gotta love 'em. Besides my Dad(his Grandpa) has already willed him his '41 Plymouth Sedan! Lucky kid indeed.

 

Hey Randy, is that a '62 grill insert?

 

Couldn't tell ya. It was there when I bought it. I'll ask the guy I bought it from.

 

Looks like it will be a blast to drive.

 

That thing is cool, I like it!!!

 

Cool ride Randy!
I've been itchin' for a g***er 'style' car lately. Got a '65 Nova body that's rough but was free. And a friends got a '57 Chevy 210 wagon that was converted to 4WD back in the '60's. It'd make a cool "family" g***er!

I like it man, always liked the falcons anyway and being a g***er is just a plus. there is one on okc with a 460 that has been the guys daily for about 7 or 8 yrs straight axle and 9 inch sits just like yours , good luck you will enjoy it for sure and gotta bring it to the hamb drags....represent the fords

 

vary cool

 

Very cool!! That's gonna be a "Stone Gas", baby!
