    If i recall from him telling me.........:)....hood/fenders stretched about 1 1/2"ish........yup corvair headlamp pods,they were gonna use something else but the fit was better with these........mesh grille with bullets...hood scoop made functional,with unique lil trim pieces......i think an earlier bumper too......i'll check on all this to be sure n edit if neccessary tho.:)

    Looking for a new fuse block for my Falcon.
    I can't find one any where!
    Does anyone know where I can find one?

    thats about as low as you can go without raising or heating and bending the drag link. which i really don't wanna do. its about 3/8" from laying the pinch molding, and some frame in the front. with a 195/55/15

    Sorry to be late in.... what engine, carb and inlet set up is that? My old man has had a Aussie 65 Hardtop since new and every once in a while makes noises about triple webers... I reckon it would be a PITA i ignoring little issues like the one piece head/inlet....
