Features Doing Falcons Right

That hood looks good, don't feel too bad about finding the bondo.Mine was the same.It looked like it had been beat with a ball peen hammer.

 

Some real nice work been done on some of these old falcons on this thread! Mine is in storage for now, but when I left it had just installed the TCI front end and finished the rear set up.. not as pretty as some but you make do with what you have.. angle grinder and a welder

 

Looking good!

 

Doing a little restyling on the rear of my Convert. I had a concpet for what I wanted on the rear of this car to go with the GT350 front end I had done. Been so busy at PerTronix I didn't have time to do this. My Ex Employee now has his own shop and does great metal work, so I let Chris at Romance With Rust tackle this for me.

 

Looks awesome to me!! Great work.

 

Keep posting pics of the rear progress Hotroddon. Looks great and interesting. curious to see how it all comes out.

 

squire wagon I just picked up !

 

Looks great! Kinda reminds me of something Holman Moody mighta done!

 

Nice wagon EvilFalcon1961! Sorry I hadn't answered your P.M. yet, but I'm not too sure I'm going to completely part my wagon quite yet. It's driveline and suspension will probably end up in my ranchero, but I'm kinda thinking of keeping the body together at the moment as I know where there is a very clean but damn near totally stripped '62 wagon shell that I might be able to pry from the owner's hands. I can't quite let that car die completely yet...

 

completely understand ! and thank you, I love it already

 

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it here before, but I have a build thread going on for my ‘62 Falcon Deluxe and my wife’s ‘61 Futura. I mention it because the ‘62 is sort of beginning to pick up steam.

I’m hoping to get the engine / trans / rear axle swap on the Futura underway this winter.

 

I thought I would share my 63. Nothing special other than the T-5.

 

Super sano!

Sharp. Is that T-5 backing up a 170? I like the wheels, too: V6 Mustang?

 

Thanks for the heads up. Just subscribed!

 

Very nice! And cool deal on scoring a wagon evilfalcon.

 

I finished the hood today. Color sanded and buffed it this morning, and this afternoon the chrome shop had the boomerang done. Sweet timing.

 

Yep, the 170 is still hanging out up front. And a yes on the V6 Mustang wheels. I painted the recesses darker to give them a little more definition.

 

Awesome wagon!!! Did you pick that up in Oxford ma? On ma Craigslist

What's the plans with it?

 

What year Mustang? Got any specs on the wheels? Sizes? Backspace? Tire sizes?

 

Hahah yes ! The 700 dollar wagon. In the process of redoing the woodgrain and putting the trim back on . Satin clearing the patina. And lowering it 3in front and back. And running my 14 inch steal wheels with original cal custom 4 lug spider caps and drive the hell out if it !

 

2005+ Mustang.


They are 16x7 with I believe a 39mm offset. I am running 205/60-16 tires.

 

YES! great plan Evil . Can't wait to see pics of it "Done" .

Damn, ya'll have been busy.

I've been goofin' off mostly with the exception of one small project.

I've been running a low pressure hydraulic brake lite switch:



I haven't been real happy with the hydraulic switch's function in stop n' go traffic out among the masses who are all busy lookin' at their phones while they should be payin' better attention to the road so I decided to cobble together a pedal mounted mechanical brake lite switch:




I used a NAPA ECH SL200 mechanical brake lite switch and an adjustable master cylinder push rod that I bought from a Mustang vendor on the net.

I picked up the nylon bushings for the mounting stud and the push rod from the same outfit. The mounting stud was made from a 9/16" OD leaf spring shackle pin that I shortened and drilled a hole in for the retainer.

After the push rod was shortened a half inch and turned down for more threads, it was just a matter of crawlin' under the dash and puttin' it al together on the brake pedal:



I used a 20A fused constant hot circuit to the switch and the output went directly to the stop lite feed on the turn signal switch.

Now, I can "tap" the brake pedal and maybe get the attention of the idiot behind me.

 

I knew it, was eyeing that. Looks like a great start. Def post pics, dropped wagons are the shit. Where can you get the spider caps? Only nos ones floating around , or does someone make repros?

I just did the mechanical brake light switch conversion, on my '60, for the same reason. The pressure switch does not come on, until you have built pressure. Now, I have lights, the instant I touch the pedal.

 

cool deal on the brake switch! all sorts of good ideas on here

 

Like the brake light switch idea. Since I dot like the idea of my brake lights only working half the time on my 60.
