Hot Rods 21 days before the Round Up a few bloody marys and a dare

Me and my Friend were siting around the shop checking out my 57 Ranchero its all apart it came with a 412 Windsor and a t56 6 speed . Stephen told that motor should go in a Gasser I had my sons 62 [/ATTACH] falcon we built 8 years ago complete with 3 on the tree and a hot water 6 .So I brought to the shop and we have been jamming on it tonight we fired it up . Man it shakes the ground .I am driving from Hawkins to Austin excuse the raw edges but this is a hot rod and it was built for fun and its going to be !!

 

Well I made it and it was fun 700 mile later my distributor gear gave up 40 miles from the house but parts ordered back on the road this weekend here is the car broke

 

Terry we checked out your car t the Roundup. It is a sweet little car. Those rough edges made it cooler.

 

Very cool Falcon!

 

How about a video clip so we can hear it shake the ground!!

 

Well as soon as my distributor gear and I am also pulling the high volume oil pump out and replacing it with a normal pump it should come back to life this weekend I will record that 412 cackle fest I have some mustang quarter repair panel coming to flare the rear wheel radius the I going to spot repair the car and reshoot the white

 

Nice first gen bird!
Good effort on the thrash.
How does she ride way up in the air on the highway?

 

Rode really good at 90 on a smooth road !!

 

I'll bet that was a smooth STRAIGHT road!....I don't believe I'd want to try cornering too quickly with her but DAMN she's a sweet " straightshooter " as us " roundyround" guys call em! ...and I'm REALLY GLAD you kept FORD power in it !

 

Terry,
Looked at your car at LSR on Friday. Good landing spot for the motor and trans
that I have been walking around and stumbling over in my shop for more than fifteen years.
Great car.
What's the Ranchero going to get for a motor?
