Projects 62 Ford Falcon build

ok that makes a lot of sense, it fills in a lot of details for me i plan on taking thicker sheet metal to connect the connecting rails to the floor and stock supports. i like what you did to connect the rails to the body and im thinking of doing something similar as my tunnel is going to have to change a lot for the six speed trans i have.

 

All your work looks great, nice Falcon!

 

some new pix.

 

Looks great. i love early falcons and can't wait to see this one finished.

 

Sure looks good to see it outside on 4 wheels again!

 

What,NO SNOW!!!! Seems like most of your pictures have been taken during the winter!!! The Falcon looks like a car again!!! ROY.

 

Nice.....me like!

 

Looks like a car again Rick ! Looks really different with the "new"quarter panel on it !!

 

i usually got winters off,, so i got busy as much as i can do.. now back to the grind... Not doing a/c work on heavy equipment this year so might have to work straight thru now ,lol...

 

Im still plugging away on it.. after awhile off from working on it, and elbow surgery from a work accident, I managed to get some stuff done over the winter and up to now.

built a rotisserie so I finished the underneath parts



got a great running motor, and did some mods to it



built some headers



p***enger side



drivers side

 

shot some black on it





even got the motor wired up and started it for the first time. Just a little video to hear it

Great build! Nothing sounds as good as a nicely built big block!

 

Good to see you posting progress.
When can I go for a ride in that monster?
I'll be up that way in June, I think. July for sure.

 

when its running joe, your welcome anytime for a ride.

 

picked up an aluminum fuel cell,, tested fitted it to the frame



fits like it was meant for the car,, so put in a sending unit and proper vented fill cap

 

Nice!
One step closer to that ride.

 

Just got me a 63 square roof.I was looking all over the TFFN for your crossmember install and could not find it.One search on here and waaalay.Keep diggin Rick!

 

Great post I learned a lot from it and I Thank You for it.Awesome Ride can't wait to see more

 

thanx guys

 

cool your still at it.great to see it moving forward.. keep at it.I know what its like to have to put your project on the back burner.

 

Please Post more one of the best Post I've seen

 

Hi Rick glad to see you are still at it ! Me too lol , should be next year for me ...I hope !

 

ive had a set back with my elbow since going back to work,, so have had some time off from the car, and work.. slowly getting strength back again and going to hit it again this fall. hopefully get all the bodywork done and finally finish the floors and get it undercoated and sealed. hopin the 1/4 panel can make its way here in the next month or so then I can get cracking fast.

 

Been wondering where the hell you have been.
I thought you fell off the face of the planet.
Good luck with the arm.

 

ive been here,, got a few old Suzuki bikes, built one and sold it,, doing the other one and keeping this one.. might not be able to ride, but least I got one lol. a lot lighter to work on, no modifying and can use my right (wrong?) arm to wrench.

 

I saw that Suzi stuff on your photobucket link.
Sent shivers up my back.....
I'm too old and sore for crotch-rockets anymore.

 

was my first bike when I was a kid,, same as the falcon, so im getting my old toys back sorta lol

 

Ahhh memories....
Enjoy.

 

heres a newish pic of the bike after I ***embled it and got a proper seat, and cleaned it up

 

Looks good.
I see that you went thru it top to bottom so it should be good.
Now.. get healed and get back on the Falcon!
