64 Falcon autocross and track car

[clementime56]

I have been working on this project on nights and weekends for a couple of months and figured it was time to start a thread. It will be built for autocross and track days. if there are any questions feel free to ask. I manage Dick's Hot Rod Shop in MN and that is where I am building it. It will be a car that will represent our shop at the events we attend.https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gifhttps://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gifhttps://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gifhttps://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gifhttps://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gifhttps://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gifhttps://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gifhttps://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Wow this is going for the baddess pro touring falcon. But why a truck arm suspension and not a 3 link, parallel 4 link, or a torque arm?

Fantastic fabrication skills! I can't wait to watch this car come alive!

Love it! What is going on in your third picture down? Is it adjustable without slip? Different washers?
thanks.

It was a compromise for me but hopefully it will work good. I wanted to keep the back seat.
I also wanted to try something different and see if i could make it work. I have done a fair
amount of auto crossing with a 3 link rear and that worked good but for the best geometry
it had no rear seat. If i don't like it i can always cut it up and change it.

It is like an eccentric but with offset slugs. The slugs I cut out of stainless and the keepers on the bracket are stainless so they wont rust if
they get beat up.

Very Very Nice -- -- I so wish I had the capability to make all those cool pieces to weld together -- It keeps me from tackling several things I want to do to my car

Oh man! Beautiful work so far, this thing will be killer when done. Heck it already is.

Using the QMI reverse mount is pretty cool and hardcore. I gather this car is getting some sort of NASCARish T10 dogging trans?

Engine is a 410 ci LS that will be dynoed in the next month. I will post the numbers when I have them.
Trans is a tex racing t101a 4 speed with dog rings, clutch less shifting.
