Projects my first car 1963 falcon

hi my name is aiden ,1m 14 and a few monthes ago I got a 1963 falcon sedan project for my first car, my dad and I have been working on it ,we took out the 6 banger and put in a 1966 289 and c4 .a 9'' rearend 410.jpg

 

Pretty neat ride coming together. My first finished car was a 60, with a Chev 283...was lots of fun back in the old days. Several other guys in town had 260's and 289's in their Falcons, Couldn't buy them like that even in the sixties...like to think we got more respect than those who went out and bought everything. Stick with it!

 

Awesome Job keep up the good work and spend as much time as you can in the shop with your Dad time goes by real quick

 

thanks guys,,



we cut the wheel wells and installed a 1963 9'' and lowered it 2''

 

Very Cool, see you guys wasted no time and are going to work.
Looks like it will be a blast to drive when done. Cesar

 

I like the direction your going,,looks good. HRP

 

Very cool Aiden! I'm about 50 years older than you, and just got my first Falcon this year! Mine is also a '63! Looking forward to see your progress. I like what you've done so far!

]Hey Falcon 14 where did you go ? what ya working on ?



started working on a roll bar

 

ALL RIGHT !! keep up the good work . Looks like you got Galaxy Bucket seats , nice thats what I had in my 62 fairlane when I was 15 .

 

Here we are

 

cool old pic,,, my uncle has a 66 fairlane with a crazy 460 and a 4 speed in it ,thats where my 289 & c4 came from

 

At the time of that old pik the Fairlane had a 351c 4sp , car was originally a 6 cyl. 3 on the tree . my brother is 2 yrs older so he got the car first . I was his engine builder, 1st upgrade was 260, then 289 and finally the cleveland which buy the way is the exact engine and trans that is in my Falcon ! moral of the story is if your a gearhead DONT EVER THROW ANYTHING AWAY ! sure as heck the next day you'll need somthing that you just got rid of . 20 yrs ago when I decided to go racing I built the falcon mostly out of parts from my high school stash . start hording now, things become obsolete at your parts store in a hurry . Have a great Holiday !! Ed

Heres a pik of my Dad with one of his obsessions "15" model T... he was the reason for my addiction .
