1963.5 FALCON + GMC SYCLONE AWD Build Hi, I'm Trent Morris a custom car builder, apprentice fabricator/metal worker and owner of South East Speed Shop. This is my first full build project, a 1963 Falcon hardtop. A resurrection project that will be turned into an AWD drive turbo charged legend. Join me on this process of creating an AWD monster drag/road race car by combining a1963 futura falcon with an AWD chassis from 1998 Bravada (basically a GMC Syclone). Hints the name "Falclone".
I'm building this monster on YouTube and will be posting some episodes on here as well and give tons of updates. Hope you enjoy this build, Im have a ton of fun and love this car!! Thanks to Protouring.com for such a great venue to talk cars and have community with great car people!



Episode 1: The beginning of a legend. Introduction to SE Speed Shop and I start cutting the front suspension out of the Falcon

Dude, get out of my head!! Seriously though, excited to see this come together...one of my dream builds has always been to combine a '63.5 Falcon with the drive train and suspension of a WRX STI.

Great Minds! I built a playlist on the SE Speed Shop Youtube site so everyone can follow the progress. I'm getting close to sitting the car down and check ride height and final fit of body on frame. I'm a one man show so its taking a long time to get much progress, but I really want to fire this thing up by the fall. I don't think it will roll down the track in 2020 but 2021 it should be ready for race season and some power tour action!
