Got two 62 more doors myself... Great cars... Especially since I got them both for $275 with titles. Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
Minor body and minor mechanical. The guy had to get rid of them because town was on his butt about them, a 67 fairlane wagon, and a 64 wagon that was really rough. Gave my dad the fairlane, and the tow guy the 64 falcon wagon for the tow job. Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
I keep looking at yours. I got a 61' 4door that I lowered 2'' blocks in the back and 1 coil up front but after seeing yours, it's going lower. Speed bumps are my enemy... Love your stance and the overall car man, very well done and simple.
thanks man just be careful if you still have the stock six in it that oil pan hangs down pretty low and like i said before if you cut more coils out of the front raise the shock tower up about an inch to save some of your ride suspension. but you do lose alot of that scary boy roll that these cars have a stock height
ive added more knobs since this picture has been taken but its t dark out side to get a good picture but here is the front of her
Good to know on the shocks! And yeah the body roll is pretty bad stock, I lowered mine pretty quick after I got it but a little more and moving the shocks would help a bit too I imagine. And getting new shocks that work might as well.
Here is my '65 4-door... I bought her in 2001 for $700 when I was 17. It was my daily until 2006 when she "retired" from active service. In 2009 she went in for some repair work and a water pump replacement, but ran into some issues....so I decided it was time to pull her apart for a complete frame-up restoration....with few extra surprises ...Functional tri-power, Paxton supercharger, T-5 5-speed, 8" rear with 3.55 Trac-Loc gears....Shelby GT-350R suspension. Here is one of the latest... There is far more on my thread for this build if you want more... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=571758&highlight=mrmodelt
I do actually...I posted it in my last response, but here it is again http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=571758&highlight=mrmodelt
Still miss mom's '62, loved that car! My '64 wagon should be mobile this spring, 170, 3 speed, will be my "beater". Looks like you are doing a good job Mr. 'vair!! I have had an idea kicking around in my rear burner for an induction system for these engines. I'll see if I can draw it up and put in here!! How is the weather out there, cold here, 15 right now!!
