62 Falcon

[bstory62]

Hey everyone, just want to put another falcon on here. I love all the builds on here, tips and ideas.
I ended up getting rid of my Cummins powered 32 Chevy sedan for this little falcon.
Built brand new .60 over 302, rebuilt T5, Heidt mustang 2 front end, custom 4-link rear, 9" rearend, 4.56 gears, fuel safe, msd ignition and so on.

Well I can't get the pictures to load.

[bstory62]

Right now she is getting worked over some more. The entire guts and pitiful unibody are gone. Plated the rockers and put an actual crossmember to replace the torque box. Full frame rails from the firewall to the bumper. The rails are also narrowed for big meats. Also to accommodate the big rear tires, the fenders will be split and punched out an inch or so and worked front to back to look right. Then it will be time sheetmetal floor and throughout the trunk and to finish the electric, then ready to cruise.

[bstory62]

Well that suck still didn't work right, I'll try and figure it out tomorrow.

[LowFast]

Looking good.

[Boosted Falcon]

Nice, and agree it is great to see a few more Falcons.

[Josh@Ridetech]

Going to have a really nice stance!!

[gator68428]

Very cool!

[injcted]

Cool build! I dig the patina on the car!

[bstory62]

Thanks guys. Everything is finally welded. Need to stretch my wheelwel 1.5" then put the rearend and rear suspension back in. Then she will be ready for sheetmetal. Now for the cool stuff.

[bstory62]

got it

[bstory62]

Running and driving. Needs sheetmetal.

Haha finally got em in.

[bstory62]

Well the I didn't have much room for the rears, so decided the rear rails needed to be narrowed.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/08/8F9BCBD3D70C4E7BB3DD5DC8A388ABA8-1.jpg (http://s821.photobucket.com/user/bstory1/media/Dirty%20Bird/8F9BCBD3-D70C-4E7B-B3DD-5DC8A388ABA8.jpg.html)

The 4-link was a bolt on and actually crushed the rails of the unibody, then decide to put subframe connectors in. Then as with all projects it took a turn for the worse...or better. Everything got cut out and is now built correctly.

Front crossmember/transmission mount

The mufflers will be tight but monted with L-bracket that has a small piece of rubber. There is not very much room since it will be so low. The rear pipes will come through the rear crossmember with the lowest part of the driveshaft loop being the lowest point.

[bstory62]

Ok now that's better and hopefully worth looking at. Now the rear wheelwel will be stretched and the rearend and suspension put back in. Then sheet metal wil he started and the fuel cell will be put in. Seats and electric and she'll be goin'

[bstory62]

Stoked to see another falcon on here. Try using Imgur to upload the images, and use an embedded link, also select large thumbnail when uploading should help with the photos. What kind of wheel and tire specs do you plan to run?

Thanks, I got em loaded with some info. Fronts are 245/45/18 rears are 275/40/19.

[bstory62]

Going to have a really nice stance!!

Thanks, I thinks so too. I will be a little lower than in the pics

[NorthFalcon]

Awesome build, coming a long nicely! Also I see you figured out how to post images

[bstory62]

Thanks, yea got the pics figured out. This rear wheelwel is proving to be a challenge.

[Z06killinSBF]

This is going to be awesome, can't wait to see it done

[bstory62]

She is on her own feet. Just on blocks in the rear because I need to get lower springs and bring the whole thing down 3" or so.

Well I had the pics figured out using Flickr and now nothing but a link. Anyone know how to embed the picture? I can't figure out what I am doing wrong

[Wraith]

On Flickr just copy the download link and drop it directly to your thread.


Great work!
