Features Falcons done right?

Is that a filled stock front lower valance, or is it aftermarket??? Look clean!

 

Sorry here is a pic of the car im asking about..

 

Does anybody know who got it? Is it still there or its been sold overseas? that is if sold at all.
Its kool no doubt, im no fan of rat anything but this thing looks bad ass.
On the other hand the Real Patina flat black "Gasser" Falcon is THE real deal! Id probably kill to own it! I hope whoever owns it now will keep it looking like that, it really looks menaceing......
then about the next trend thing.....i tought falcons, early mustangs and 60s mopars where A/FXed a long time ago, wasnt it when they were new??
Or they meant that people will stop puttin togheter POS rods and start raising front ends gasser style? cause that would be a lot more scarier.....
anyway, its all BS.

 

nice wagon...

 

13 inch rims on it now
probally 14 in the future

nice work

 

Great job on those panels. It's nice to see the work of a patient person.

 

Panels look good!

Nice wagon!!

 

Hey Rob,
Did you use the 88400s on your engine? If so, how did they fit?

Butch,
Not yet, brother...I've been too damn lazy lately, and I'm also working on my Bluesmobile. Not to mention all the damn rain down here, and 100+ degree days...it's like living in hell!

I've got to replace the whole exhaust system anyway, so I thought I'd save it for a fall/winter project, and let my exhaust man run me some new duals after I shoehorn those manifolds in...and, I also need to add some type of Monte Carlo bar or the like to stabilize the front end, since I've cut the coils.

But, as of right at this moment in time, she's running and driving damn good!
Rob

 

Thanks, Doc!

Rob, way to go! Nice to see you got it all painted up. I am jealous
It looks killer.

 

Thanks, man....it's amazing what a 6 dollar quart of semi-gloss black Rustoleum from Wal-Mart will do!

I don't have any pics of it, but circa '69 to '72 one of the hottest local street cars aroiund Stoney Creek Ontario was was a rare 'one-year-only' '60 Frontenac (Canadian Mercury version of the '60 Ford Falcon) sedan delivery with all the typical gasser and Mod /Prod mods of the day - ie- econoline straight axle and front leaf springs, a roller cammed and tunnel rammed 289 with fender well headers, top loader 4 speed, 9 inch rear end with 4.57 gears, ladder bars, buzzed rear wheel openings and M&H cheater slicks. While the car was nominaly "street driven" it didn't just look like a gasser or mod/prod car, it practically ran like one too. Rumor was that car could run mid-11's at the track, simply by uncapping the headers and the guy had numerous trophys and class winner decals to back up the claims.

========================================================

 

Getting ready to work on my floor replacement.Have looked into the pre-molded flooring and from what I have found might run around 3 to 4 hundred plus shipping...ouch.Any other options out there.Kind of limited on metal shapping tools and I wanted to try and save some cash buy going with some 16 or 18 gauge and fit it.Any suggestions out there guys ?

 

I used some old County road signs for mine...I think they might be magnalium...I just cut them to shape and bolted them in...
Rob

 

Thanks....

 

My floors were in pretty good shape, but I cut the trans/driveshaft tunnel out of my 83 Mustang donor car and overlayed it on the Falcon floor to move the e-brake to the middle. It actually lined up with the ribs of the Falcon floor. I suggest cutting out a donor floor of anything that looks close from a junk yard and weld it in peice by piece.

 

Thanks shortyforty that looks pretty damn good.Lined up really well.Ive been wondering if maybe some other model's floor would possibly line up.

 

absolutely fantastic job on that tunnel! makes me rethink my plans a bit...

 

Damn...that IS cool!
Rob

 

That looks awesome. When you change the tunnel like that do you use factory carpet? Or do you use something else? I would like to do that to my Falcon.

 

The Mustang carpet was in poor shape but I may lay it out and see if it is close enough to work. Right now I have some cheap Walmart carpet cut into pieces to fit.

 

Is anyone running power brakes on their Falcon? I have seen the Geo retro fit. But I dont know how I feel running a plastic reservoir under the hood. Ill cut the car, but only as a last resort. My car has factory discs up front, drum out back, manual dual res. right now.

Love this '62... Quite the feat of engineering!
