    my dad finished up my car for me for christmas. he lowered it. BUT he is a muscle car guy and its kinda raked. so this is what it looks like now but im hoping to get the rear lowered a little more to level it out. i'll put better pics up tomorrow when its light out.

    nice start, now it's time to drop it like it's hot...

    it looks pretty good. I'd loose the rake, but that's just me. Falcons make a cool noise when they bottom out.

    i kinda like those caps... if it's a six, then spiders are out, if not, i'd go that route. I had a set of chrome 13"s on my ranchero, I really liked that look. Those cragar 4 spokes are rad too.

    more better:

    keep your eyes peeled, they did make 4 lug spiders for falcons. i've come across a few pairs (all after i no longer owned a 4 lug falcon or ranchero :mad:). keep an eye out at car swaps and even ebay, they are out their and usually not too expensive, i think the last pair i found was a set of 3 (sill in original wrapping) for $80.

    Falcons looking good, keep us up to date with the updates!

    Don't lose all the rake, lose like 2/3 of it. Car would sit perfect.
