Projects 1964 Falcon B/FX Build Thread

Mike;good idea on the trim clips! Now the scary part of putting the trim back on!!!!!! ROY.

 

Is it that bad putting trim back on? Jw I was thinking about putting that thin tape on before I started putting mine on ... But keep us up dated I Wana make shure I do mine right .

 

Some progress, overflow tank, radiator, fan, air cleaner done, brake lines, electrical lines, mechanical water/ oil gauges, distributor in, plug wires ran, side trim on..

 

Nice

 

looking a good man

 

I got to see it in person today,pictures DO NOT do it justice!!!! I can't wait to see it in the sun!!!!! ROY.

 

Great looking car! Nice work, and like Roy, I look forward to seeing it in person!
Eric

 

Looking real good five-o.Especially the rear tire/rim combo.

 

By the way where did you get the plasti-coat? Those clips can add up quickly.I think just counting the side trim on my 64 I was looking at about 80 bucks.
When I started my bodywork last summer I couldn't believe how rusted my clips were.

 

Thank you all for the motivation!
Muncie I got the plasti-dip at Harbor Freight! If you want the can i have, it is 3/4 full still, its yours for shipping, i dont think i have another use for it right now. The clips alone were about $100 at $2.00 a piece, plus the clips with the stud/nut! which i think were about $40.00. Ridiculous!!! But i didnt have any so i had to get them.

Working on the throttle linkage, I used a 69 Mustang Cable and a 69 Mustang throttle pedal. I also modified the windshield washer motor bracket and cut a square hole in it (lots of hand filing) to accept the other end of the cable. I got a stock 4V mustang carb base place piece for the cable end out by the carb. I also got the fatory style progressive linkage from Carls Ford Parts (temporarily held in place with screws). So far it is all looking good, I also got the pedal mounted to check for pedal travel and it looks good. enjoy.

 

Mike;could the cable be routed to the front carb?Hard to tell from the pictures but it looks like some tight bends!! ROY.

 

Have Yall checked lowes I couldn't belive that I found all my hardware and clips there and I mean it looked just like the originals they have a automotive hardware section in the nut and bolt isle and its pretty cheep to

 

The throttle cable was not at too bad of a bend, but I did move it to the front carb and relocated the back mounting part of the cable from the wiper motor bracket to the firewall. It works much better now and is a much smoother pull, Thanks Roy!

 

Seriously I never know that thanks for the tip.

 

Mike, the car looks awesome. Roy pool will be sending pics of my 63 1/2. I think you'llike the color.

 

Your falcon looks great!! Do you mind if I post a picture of it? I was going to do the Holman moody decal or competition one as well, but u beat me to the punch. What engine are u running?

 

Mike, go for it. The CP sticker adds a lot of character. Building a 363 inch 302 stroker, with Brodix heads, backed by a top loader. I like the pie crust tires on your car, wonder if the come in 28 x 9?

 

Hey falcon kid where your pics I wanna see your car

 

Eddie, is this for sale? Do you still have it??

 

Mike is going to post some of them. Or, pm me your email, I'll send you some.

 

Bitchin' build dude.

 

Falconkids falcon, awesome car!!!! Makes mine look like a parts car!

 

Nice car

 

Mike;your 64 does not look like a parts car!!!! ROY.

 

Some work on the tail panel, i got the anodizing stripped an polished a few weeks ago. Tonight I got it taped and sprayed with self etching primer. Tomorrow I should be able to get it painted and the black striping done.

 

Mike, your car does not look like a parts car!

 

Yeah I know really lol . Best Damn parts car I have ever seen lol

 

When we unloaded Mike's Falcon at the Fab Shop even the Chevy guys liked it!!!! ROY.

 

Roy, the Chevy guys liked it because they wish their nova's had that much style & good looks.
