Got backhome last night and hit the passenger sife roof with a razor blade and realized it was taking both black and orange layers off nice and...
At this stage it’s more of an experiment honestly. If I don’t like it I can go all the way to metal. Part of the reasoning is no funds right now....
I’ve been messing with my 63.5 Falcon lately and the last couple of nights fooling with the paint. Car is a Rangoon Red under brush painted black...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Back in the 90's after I got out of the Navy, my dad and I started a project to put a small block and...
Cool thread. I'm being tempted by a 54 4 door a couple of hours away with the 239 Y block and the 3 speed manual. It has a red siren on the...
Just picked up a couple of more tachs. First another SUN RC85 with Chrome cup. I think it will clean up. The other looks like a SW 2-5/8" 12K...
From work, bunch of engineers, "Just release it we'll fix it later". Caught another guy saying BHP = bkW... few others
I just picked up these two. 8K tachs. I've seen the Dixco's before, but the other looks like it says Pennys Foremost. They look a lot alike....
Me and a buddy just picked up a 63 Falcon two door sedan and will be parting out what we don't need. It's a bit rusty of course and is strictly a...
It def looks to be in a lot better shape than the one I paid $900 for last Sept.
That's looking real good...I think I got all the rust you didn't get plus mine lol
I have that problem most of the time as well..... I'm just not smart enough to realize it until my wife smacks me in the head ;)
I count four lugs on the rear hub, looks like it is a 6 cyl Futura, but still a great foundation for a sweet hot rod. Hopefully, it has bucket...
I gave $900 for a Red/Red 63.5 Hardtop Futura as a complete car 170-6/3spd. Had to pull it 450 miles home on a tow dolly... There are floor...
Great thread! Hopefully later this year I'll get to the point of painting the 63.5 Falcon in my avatar.
That's about the size of tire I had on my old 69 Mustang with a 351W/4spd and it was pretty much the same thing.... smoke em if ya got em. Well, I...
Sounds good, I got the 5.0 and 8.8 out of a 2000 Mountaineer and was able to see/hear the engine run before I bought it. It should be ok for a...
I have not planned on a cage, but you never know. So far just a roller cam 5.0 with the same treatment as the hotrod $350 junkyard motor, although...
Mine is a 2.5 car garage but I stick three cars in it plus all my tools etc. I guess my wife must be a saint because she sort of puts up my toys...
Got some more work done this weekend. Got the new rear torque boxes welded in and tied them to the rear frame rails. Also fit up the narrowed...
Some shots from the last couple of SVRA Brickyard events as well as a the 2014 Brian Redman event [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Again got some time to work on my 63.5 hardtop, this time fabbing the new heavier spring mounts. Lot more to go, but I guess it's a start...
By the way, I still have the 3 speed, the 7.25" rear and the 170 cu six if anybody close is needing those parts!
New guy here, here are a couple of before and during photos of the 63.5 hardtop I picked up last fall. It's a bit of a basket case I'm afraid....
Its got teeth missing off the second gear and I kind of wanted it for the close ratio setup. Besides the junked second gear, I honestly am not...
[ATTACH] I have a 62 Galaxie T10 and I am building a 63 Falcon. I'd be interested in swapping you for the main shaft and tail housing if you are...
That's a cool build and makes a great story!
