Hot Rods Gasser Gasser Gasser!! The Adventures of the "Strange Bird" Blown Nailhead Falcon.

No problem Scotty. Thanks for letting me be apart of the shoot!

 

That car is downright perfect. When you started the project, I was collecting parts to build a setback FE-powered AWB '62 Falcon myself. But you made yours so bad ass...I just gave up and sold the car because I'm not worthy. Any Falcon gasser built after this just won't compare...you set a new standard. Fear not, my FE will be stuffed into my '53 Ford Coupe, which was an old drag car from the 60's.

Please get some videos up as soon as you get the trans issues worked out. I'm also curious to know how well those ladder bars work when the tires are hot.

 

YOU'RE one sick puppie and I love the car

Is it going to be streetable ?

That would be fun in my part of the world.

 

i was talking to russell today and he mentioned building your trans in that thing. what a small world haha. i wanna stop in some time again but ive been working late. i need to see that bird again!

 

wow!!!! that sounds very very good!!!!!!!!! nice car!!!

 

wow! this car has came a long way...and its on the money...

 

that car is 110 % my style i luv it .......

 

Do you have the equipment/experience to do this, or would you farm it out? That would be really cool, make sure to take lots of photos.

 

Thanks for the praise guys! I'm stoked.


Richard, I've never tried to heat form a hood....but I'll figure it out I'm sure. You ever done it?

 

This is totally O/T for the thread...but hey...it's my thread right?

 

COOL

. . . I'm still following the progress

 

Big ass pizza oven! Isn't that what Ed Roth did?

More video pleeeease!

And I can't wait to get my shirt hint hint

 

I sent ya an extra for forgetting it!


More video soon....shop is crazy busy, so no time for personal projects right now....

 

A blown nailhead mill...killer

 

The front hood panel looks great on a Falcon Gasser- just enough to make a header panel infront of the hood- keep the rest as a pin-on that you can take or leave off. Cooler than the other side of the pillow.

OOOOHHHH!! I like that Idea!

 

WOW! That nail sounds really good. Have fun.

 

This is the baddest effin thread on the HAMB. Awesome inspiration for my own builds

 

Thanks for the praise guys.

 

My friend Serge just dropped off the new tow rig for the Strange Bird. I did some horse trading with him for it. It's a 1964 fairlane 500 wagon that has had all the bodywork and paint done.

I'm thinking it may get a 401 or a 425 Nailhead for motivation. It actually makes sense this time hahaha. I may be a sissy and just stuff a 351 into it....we will see.

It's already the same white as the Strange Bird will be, just needs some red on the rear quarters.

I'll build some kind of hitch and strengthen the subframe as well.

The work on this will be done while The Strange Bird is getting painted and lettered.

 

sweet! its gonna be a sight to see!

 

Nice rims....

 

Haha!
That's gonna be killer!

 

Hahahaha! Trust me guys...the rims are already gone.

 

Thats gonna look killer!!!

 

Yeah...we know your keeping them for your new project BMW...

 

That is the perfect choice to haul the Bird around. Those big rear windows look awfully bare, they need to be filled up with some decals.

 

Yes Muttley, I get your hint. I'll hit you up for sure when it's time.

 

HAHA, a little self promotion never hurt anyone.

 

Wow! Perfect tow car for "Strange Bird"!!! That's
gonna be an awesome looking combo going down
the road!
