Features Falcons done right?

here is a picture of my 64

 

Man I wish I could afford one of those AU Falcons... they are awesome. I have a '63 comet I'm working on getting on the road right now. Maybe one day I can make it to AU and see one of these in person.

 

Sweet man!

 

Well, The Falcon made it`s maiden trip this morning . It`s the first time it has moved under it`s own power since`86. That`s when my buddy parked it . It drove out real nice. Now to put some miles on it before pulling down for a paint job.

 

freakin' sweet, dude !

 

The air shocks are coming off. But part of it is the rebuilt rear springs, I`m hoping they settle some with some miles on them.

 

The `60 is an old race car I changed into a gasser . It`s close to the one I raced in the early 70`s . It was always a blast to drive . The car is 351C powered into a C4 with a 4000 stall convertor & reverse manual valvebody into a 9" with 4.86`s. We are headed to the Hamb drags this weekend, hope to get the new 660 Holleys tuned.

So cool. Great work, and have a blast!

 

Looking for some new seat covers to re-trim my seats for my falcon. Any suggestions on where i can get some? steve.

 

A few update pics of my wifes XP. On airbags-this is ride height, go's lower

 

Pics of it laying or it aint true
I really like the rear end work, i think you did a 4 link judgeing from what i can see, i'd like to see more o'that too.
It takes balls to do that to a unibody, not like a frame car. I did a similar job to my uni-Ford, and it was intense.
really man, MORE PICS

 

Just found this thread. Now I have to go back and read all of it. Just bought a rolled 63 sprint convertible, and a burnt 63 convert parts car.

 

Here's what you do with a Falcon that's to far gone to restore.

 

heres some more of the rear

 

Well dude, you deff went a mile deeper than i did. Total respect fot the work involved.
And the fabrication looks spotless.

 

Great work on that suspension set up! Very well done indeed.

 

Been a while since I posted (pg 98 to be exact).

Nice work on getting that falcon down!

 

Just lowered mine 2 more inches in the rear.

That makes it a total of a 3" drop in the front and a 5" drop in the rear...and my 15's with 2 1/4" white walls still fit very well!

Put on some new shoes this past weekend

 

Great shot of a handsome car!

What size tires are you running? Thinking about putting 15s on my wife's '61.

 

Thanks!

I'm running Coker Classic 165 R15's on 15x5" smoothies

the front tires only rub if I make an EXTREME turn

 

Ha! Somebody found the "other" last pair of 4 lug Tru-Spokes!!!! 175/70-14s?

 

freakkiinnn' awsome!!!

 

Yes I mounted up some Hankook 175/70/14s. It was a mission finding these Tru's. I got lucky with such a nice set.

The rear is pretty tight so I'm going to either roll the fender or shave it a bit for some extra clearance.

 

Lookin good MrFalcon62

 

Thanks! So's your bird!

MrFalcon, what are the wheels on you car, and do you know what the back space is? I'd love to see a side view of yours too.

 

I have 15x5" Coker smoothies that I painted robins egg blue. With mooneyes hot rod trim rings and moon spider caps. They have a 2" offset and 3" backspace-

I do not like 4-doors, but that is bad.
