Norton

 

Lookin good Rick !

 

both sides done,, gusset both sides left to do.

 

Lookin' good, buddy.

 

some floor work,, im starting on the new firewall too.

 

Lookin' good, it's always nice to make some progress. Just one year older than what I want, would like to have a 63 Falcon G***er to pull behind my 63 F100 to shows and track days.

 

since i found a new place for metal,, i decided to finish the front frame boxing and make it look pleasing to look at.. almost done then ready for paint.

 

just need to clean the welds then slap some paint on

 

slapped some primer on for awhile,




found a set of used headers to try,, some tubing needs to be moved abit but fit is pretty good otherwise. they arent rusted out, just surface rust from sitting outside for abit.

 

Hey, glad to see that bellhousing in there. That auto was making me nervous!

lol

 

Jeeze Rick!!! What's up with that Maple Leaf in with the lifters in the second to last picture? You trying to prove this thing is Canadian????

 

totally CANADIAN home built

 

I'll bet it cant play Hockey ether .

 

Then I bet you will use Beaver fur seat covers eh !

 

found a used thrashed set of 390 headers, and afew other odds and end headers so thought id give my hand at making it fit... looks like **** but it fits without having to pull motor, p***enger side does anyways.. starting on the drivers side now.

 

No.. not pretty (ok.. fugly). But great for a starting place!

 

wow,,

 

Read your msn and you'll see my offer.

 

Poor Rick..
Kiddin, buddy!
You KNOW how much further you along you are than me with my build.

 

Hey Rick Gizmo said you are back to work, congrats! More money to piss away on the Falcon now

 

thAnx steve, yeah back to 10-12hr days

 

got my firewall bent up, now to trim it and weld it in after the floors are in

 

Lookin good!

 

thanx joe.. heres abit of an update.. i trimmed the firewall to sit flush on my rails and braces... finished boxing and bracing the dr frame rail. just need to final trim the firewall and tack it in

 

i managed to get an hour or so on the car last nite and set the firewall in and tacked it in place.. still needs t******* but its something... hopefully get more done later this week....

 

This project was inspiring me this weekend when I was eyeing my brother's spare Corvette ch***is and my dad's 390.

Luckily for me, the world, and my Falcon, there's a huge track mismatch that will keep me on the straight and narrow.

Keep up the good work, Newfalconowner.
