Projects 63 Falcon Gasser (South East Gassers)

How about a Falcon/Mustang radiator. There has been one in the '56 since the mid late 60's 2 row back then, and a 4 row now since we drive it on the street occasionally.

 

Im considering an aluminum 2 row 66mustang 6cyl radiator, Im hoping to lose a gallon of water and a little weight on the radiator. Maybe 10lb total. It has an aluminum radiator that goes on my 69 mach1 in it at the moment

 

Were you able to get something worked out with the other mags you had that everyone was telling you not to drill?

 

Yes, i am currently looking for a buyer for the set of 4, 15x9.5 Magnesium American D spokes

 

Griffin make a "rat rod" series aluminum 2 row radiator, they come without brackets and you add your own. They are very reasonably priced. I originally ran a mustang radiator in my truck and replaced it with one of these when I added HP.

 

She's gonna be a Super-Fly-Weight

 

There goes my chances for keeping up with the Falcon this year. Smart idea on losing the front leafs.
Magnesium whore

 

Ahem!! Talk to me!!!

 

Mine are for sale. They will be coming off Monday and getting the tires swapped. Send me a message if you want

 

Aw, you drilled YOUR wheels, cool.
And those fronts ones are the coolest wheels you could ever put on the front of a nostalgia door car.
Gonna be neat.

Edit
Sorry, I looked closer at the photo of the rear AM,s.

 

I'm jelous them are the front wheels I need. Mine are aluminum. I have been looking also for about a year with no luck finding any that won't cost me a kidney. Can't wait to see them on the car should look pretty good.

 

You could get used to just one kidney!

 

I was going to ask how many kidneys one would need.

 

I got the deal of the year on these fronts! Craigslist came through for me finally

 

Well, Kidney Bean Halibrand's have 5 "Kidney holes" per wheel, so I'm betten 5 kidneys per wheel.

 

I don't even wan't to hear what kind of a deal you got, I just want those wheels!
Is there a support group for "wheel whores", I need help.

 

I can't remember, do you have fiberglass body panels? I really like the front axle flip by the way.

 

There isn't a single piece of fiberglass on the car

 

Cut the fuel tank down to save weight

 

Found some used brakes on ebay with the wrong brackets and offset, but figured what the hell. Ended up being able to modify the bracket and made a .125 spacer to go behind the rotor to fix my offset issue. Total investment was way less than $300

 

Huge thanks to Donovan for coming over and welding up my spring plates

 

Finally finished up the rear coil conversion this week.

 

Got the car back on all 4's last night for the first time in months.

 

Painted up the aerospace calipers and brackets. I personally think they look more traditional than the Wilwoods, I just wish they offered them with solid rotors

 

Finally ready for race season. Ended up getting 255lb off of the car (one change left but I've already weighed it) which should put me right around 2355 total weight, or about 8 lb over weight. Can't wait to see how it runs.

 

That's pretty good
Better than sighing up for Jenny Craig

 

Love the new look... looks nasty and angry

 

Thanks for the kind words guys, and yes i am going to re-do those rear brake lines, i was just ready to get the car a roller again, so i bent the old ones around and hooked them up

 

If you took a b&w photo, it would look like a shot from the 60's.
Love it.
