Beautiful Hot Rod. Welcome to the forum. Larry
Today, Carol and I were driving near Eastmont in South Everett. A round body Falcon Ranchero drove past us. Not sure of the year. Very nice white car set up as a gasser with straight front axle. I...
Hey Gordie, sorry I missed your note. I had P23560R14's on the car. If I was to do it all again on that car I would have installed something smaller on the front. Just for looks anyway. The front...
Tom, I had the same problem on my 64. I bought some flat sheet, cutout the width I needed and formed it to match the channel that I cut off the door. I used a long straight piece of steel and rounded...
Got a couple of pictures of the block that DSS Racing is shipping tomorrow. Larry78647865
I haven't done much on the car lately, but back problems are indeed a pain. So, I bought some more stuff just to keep busy. I ordered a 351 Level 20 roller block from DSS Racing. I also ordered their...
You won't be able to hear the fuel pump if you get louder exhaust. LOL. Larry
Carol and I just got back from a while in Tucson Arizona. Worked on my brothers 64 Fairlane Thunderbolt clone. Now I want to get back to mine. I will update soon I hope. Larry
I know. I should not be thinking about the paint of my future car. BUT, I keep looking. When talking about this subject before, Jeff said he likes two tone cars. So do I. So, please remember, this...
I see just some surface rust, is the rest of the car as straight as the driver side. MORE PICS!!. Glad you're back and have fun with this one. Larry
I know exactly what you are going through. When I built my 64 I was vacillating back and forth on different mufflers. The way it worked for me was listening to different cars that I liked the sound...
Glad your gloves protected you. I know the pain of having to remove all that undercoating. My last Falcon took forever to get it all off. The Falcon I am working on now is a California car and...
Loren, there is a picture of the spring setup in the Falcon manual in section 12 page 24 Figure 11 I think. If you don't have the manual, you can see them in the Forum under "parts wanted" where I...
Roger, I'm not sure what all I will be using. But, I will let you know asap. Also, not getting a lot done on the car lately. Carol has been having problems with blood and oxygen issues, called aid...
Sounds like a fun day. Hope several can make it with some Falcons. I am in, if others can make it. Larry
Wow, that is great. I will use this and probably not even get the book. Thanks so much. Larry
Beautiful Car. We need to have a club meeting so I can see some of these fantastic cars. Roger??? C'mon man. Biden impersonation, Larry
Anyone have an extra repair manual for the 63 Falcon. I gave the one away for my 64 with the car I sold, don't think it was for the 63. Anyway, I would like the book and not a CD Rom type. Thanks....
Anyone have a Manual for the 63 Falcon. I had one for the 64 but gave it away with the car I sold. I see them on the internet but I don't want a CD Rom. I want the book. Thx. Larry
In dismantling my 63 I have some parts that I have no need or want for. I have the 289 engine (unknown condition), original radiator (I think) which anyone can have if they want. I also have four...
Good luck with your car. I built my 64 when I retired. More time and money available. Now 15 years later I am starting my 2nd Falcon. Still more time, but less money. Have fun. Larry
Amazing workmanship. Your planning and ingenuity are needed in the Falcon world. I know what you mean about the purist comments. I went through similar castigating. But, I knew what I wanted and...
The tips that Jeff gives are really important. I had to buy my tires and wheels early to establish car setup of the gasser height. BUT, on my last Falcon, the one you see in below (yellow) I did...
Well, the rear end is ordered from Quick Performance, but like everything I have ordered recently it is going to take more than a month to get it. So, went to the front and got the tires for the...
