Projects 63 Falcon Gasser (South East Gassers)

Got my 10" wheels and 29.5 Hoosiers mounted a polished everything up! Still have to radius wheel wells a little more

 

I'm im in love with the polished wheels.

Car is coming right along. All of these progress pics are about a week behind. I can't wait to get y'all up to date but the car is coming along fast.

 

It's got a great stance, nice work !

 

Really needing the rear window trim for this thing if anyone has any leads

 

got the tunnelram and carbs mocked up. I got lucky and everything fits under the stock hood with a couple inches to spare.

 

Cool build!!!

 

windsor sr heads? 393-408?

 

LOVE - LOVE - LOVE Tunnel ram's !!!

 

Its just a little 357 sbf for now. I was just using the world heads for mock up, i have a set of aluminum ones going on to try to keep as much weight off as possible.

 

I have been getting alot of stuff knocked out on the car. Im hoping to have the body work done and the car painted by the end of next week at the very latest. Have the engine tore down right now getting balanced with the dome pistons. I finally settled on the color sunlit gold, a period ford color that i have always liked. The roof will be done in black. Hopefully soon i will have time to get everyone up to date with the pictures from all of the progress. Thanks for checking out my build! It's nice to hear all of the positive comments, it keeps me going on these late nights

 

the start of my gas pedal. Chopped up the original

a shot from the back once i finally got the wheelie bars on


extra brace added to tie the front frame rail in

 

WOW!! Love this gasser! Need to see MORE!!!

 

This is really cool build and how much work has been done in a short amount if time is unbelievable.

more pics of the foot feed being made

 

had to cut out the bottom of both front fenders and make patches to fix some rust issues. I also welded up all of the seemingly endless holes someone had drilled in the fenders over the years afterwards

 

Thanks, all of this work took almost a month, but I have been busting ass pretty good. I almost have the build thread caught up to real time, yall are only about a week behind. I got the car to the shop on feb 12.

 

Cool build. I will have to show this to my boy. He is 12 and wants his first car to be a falcon wagon gasser that he can drive on the street.

 

That's cool! I've wanted a racecar since I was about 8 years old and went to my first big race watching quain in the grand illusion berretta in steele Alabama. Nineteen years later its finally becoming a reality!

 

That's funny his first race was last yr at the meltdowns. He painted his mini bike the closest rustoleum he could get to the Moonlighter. It was close to matching a Red scout.

 

I love the moonlighter, anything ford powered is good, and anything FE powered is better

 

Got the straight axle pulled so that I could paint everything up

 

Got everything off and ready to paint you can also see my hood pins on the rockers for my flip front. Also you can see where we bent/extended the pitman arm to get my steering ratio correct and for the steering to clear the oil pan. Excuse the messy shop for the next few pics, as it got terribly dirty and messy while doing the chassis painting. Try not to be too envious of my jack stands as well

 

You plan on bringing it to the Meltdowns?

 

no idea yet, I guess we will see how the car is doing and what the budget is looking like when july rolls around

 

You get the Award for the environmentally Green Jack Stands

 

Lol, had to work with what I had! This thing is beginning to kick my butt. At least I'm on the home stretch now, plan on having it painted within the week. Motor should be done by then as well, then its just assembly and wiring

 

Looking good I'm still hard at working on mine need to get other motor finished up and work on getting some weight of it. let me know if I can help with anything needed.

 

Is that your falcon in your avatar? I saw it run at paradise Saturday.There is a pic of it on the last page of my thread.
Here is a link.
