Hello all. Last spring a 65 Falcon Hardtop rolling shell popped up for sale for $400. I bought it. I brought it home, covered it up and left it. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it. I came to realize that I didn't want another mid 60's Ford that drove like a brick with marble wheels. I wanted something that would take corners and come out the other side with out having to lay into the brakes everytime.
Late summer I placed the car on the lift and completely tore out and junked the suspensions. I've done some research on both front and rear. Rear springs have been replaced. 9" housing ready to go in with disc brakes, KYB shocks, Underride bars. No sway bar yet. Thats one thing I'm unsure of.
Still getting parts together for the front end. Want to make some other changes but again, I'm unsure at this time. I have a quick ratio steering box, Shelby pitman and idler arms, negative wedge kits, 620 springs, KYB shocks. Want to rollerize the U and L control arms and perches.
I'll be reading up and asking some questions. Sorry for rambling on in the first post. Thanks, Ron
