Projects The Kustom Falcon

Nice work looking good. I see you got your bumpers chromed not too long ago. I just got a quote of 400 per bumper after taxes for mine. Does that sound about right?

 

Dude. That is a steal! I was just quoted $1000 for my wing windows, and a horn ring.

Really nice and unique car, I think you're on to somethin there, Indy

 

I has been a while since I got anything chromed and damn the prices have gone up. Thanks for the info.

 

The EPA is killing the car world, one regulation at a time.

 

I really like these kinds of customs. I'll be following this one for sure!

 

very cool car

 

Block is all machined and parts are in. Motor goes together next week.

 

Good to see I'm not the only one.

Don't you understand though? They are protecting you from yourself. It's really in your best interest. Trust us. we are the government...

I just chopped my vent windows for my chevy and it looks like I'm just gonna paint them black for now. Chrome plating is out of the question on my budget.

 

That is one Wicked Ride one question what are you going to do with the dash stock or are you going to mod it a little add some gauges? Thanks for the post enjoyed the pics very much gives a person alot to think about

 

Lookin good and for some reason I really like your color choice

 

Thanks for all the responses.

The dash will be as original as I can get it.

Update: mctim64 is working magic on a sweet 5 liter, 302. I'll detail what he's putting together when it's all finished. It's everything I imagined it would be.

This is turning out great! I can't wait to see it completed.

 

Great looking car, shouldn't someone be complaining about the Mustang II front suspension though?

 

Great job! I love seeing these early sixties mild customs

Very nice !!!!!

 

Thought I would post a few pix of the engine going together.

this is what we started with.


after a little time in the hot tank.


Machined and ready to go together









A lot of guys forget this plug and wonder why they have no oil pressure. Not a problem here.


This is what we have so far, heads will go on this week.

 

Outstanding, Tim!

This is awesome.

 

RaidMagic - I figure someone would, but on the other hand, the guys who'd complain about a Mustang II turn off their computers when they see the title of this thread, anyway.

Very cool car, lookin forward to seeing it all together.

 

Your ride is coming along very nice.Can't wait to see the block installed in the engine bay.
Any details on the crank,heads,cam etc.

 

Thanks Muncie! I'm gonna let Tim detail the build - he's pretty close to being finished. I'm beyond fortunate to have Tim build this engine. It's ten fold what I was dreaming up.

That car would be awesome with a Y-block in it.

 

Awsome anyway!

 

Don't for a minute think that didn't cross my mind.

Right on looking forward to it.

 

When it's complete I'll post more pix with details.

 

This week I'm cleaning up the interior. To piss some of you off, I converted by clutch pedal assembly to an automatic, single pedal assembly. Got an AOD housing that will be mounted up to a dummy block at Boling Brother's to massage out the firewall, and get the right X-member in place.

Cleaning out the floors and laying down a little POR-15 where needed (highway robbery, if you ask me. Almost $40 for a pint at the cheapest local shop. I'm going with Eastwood's brand next time.). The steering wheel and column were modified and painted, and are ready for wiring.

Next up is the Quiet Ride kit, wiring, and then we should be good to go for the engine and trans.

 

I really like what you are doing! I'm tired of all the "gasser" style conversions,nice to see a Falcon done with imagination!!!!If you go to the AOD you will need to notch the floor brace in order to get the engine/trans angle right[been there,done that],or you WILL have driveline vibrations!!That color really looks killer on the Falcon!!!
