History Wanted!!! 1964/65 Ford Falcon A/FX Pics!

Mike;sure,blame me!!!! It is looking good!!!! ROY.

 

I like the way those look! I have seen a couple picture of late 65-66 cars with AN fittings and braided line, probably something airplane or military based. On my car I was running -6 lines for the returns and -8 for the feed, into the filter and up to the injector. Is that going to be enough fuel for that ginormous engine you got there? Now that I'm switching to methanol, the return lines stay a -6 but the feed line goes to a -10

Got my fenders back from the fiberglass man today. Quite a change from the orginal.....Mike

 

Mike;they look killer!!!! ROY.

 

He does nice work.

 

MD1320GUY, Are you putting the vent windows back in you doors or leaving them out? I am thinking about taking mine out.

 

Mike...I am impressed with the quality of the workmanship....the car should be a beauty when finished....Mike W.

 

Future project. HRP

 

No vent windows for me. My doors are going to be steel inner with fiberglass outer skin & lexan windows. Having the door skin off makes it easier to fab & modify the regulators & window channels. Don't think I could do it if the doors were all together. By the way I followed your example over the winter & started drilling holes in everything. Check out my traction bars(pg33 #989). LOL.....Mike

 

Roy
Have a safe & breakage free trip to Washington.....Mike

 

Mike
I hope you got everything done on the "Vindicator" for the York Reunion. Look forward to seeing you there on Saturday.....Mike

He's been doing fiberglass work for over 40 years. Fulltime with Anderson Ind for over 20. He is a true craftsman.....Mike

 

Found this one on the "vintage shots from the days gone by" thread.

 

I like the holes, the car is looking great.

 

Mine on the turntable at Summit in MDonough

I probably won't start on the doors until winter (too much going on during racing season). When I do I'll keep you in mind, document & picture everything & make 2 copies of the fab parts to help your swap.....Mike

 

That sounds great and the timing will be perfect, I still have some drivability issues to work out on my falcon. I need to put a bigger radiator in it which I plan to start when it gets back from summit.

I was hoping whoever bought the El Condor would end up here. Previous owner had plans for it, but health breakdown ended that plan. Keep us posted on what you are doing with it.

 

Ok,so where is it now?Will it be rebuilt as a racecar? ROY.

 

I am so confused! Theres California Mike (Mike Thomas - fiveoh108), Vindicator Mike (Mike Weaver - ssamx) and me Maryland Mike (Mike Gose - MD1320guy). Seems like being hooked on Falcons is a "Mike thing". Guess I don't care what you call me as long as its not LATE for a light, a meal or a paycheck.....Mike

Its bound to happen when you leave an OLD hotroder unsupervised around a stash of spray paint. What started as simply throwing a little primer over the bare spots around the modified wheelwells on the quarters ended up being the worlds cheapest custom paint job ($ 11). Earl Scheib would have been proud. Now I have a good idea what it will look like in gloss black & old school "big flake" silver metalflake with lipstick red pinstriping.
