I finished welding in the upper crossmember and primered that area






I finished up boxing in the the lower link brackets

I just ordered a competition engineering chromoly sway bar for the rear of the car,does anyone that has tried their products have good luck with them?

[Bryce]

I run speedway engineering splined sway bars on my cars. they work great. Im sure CEs are similar.

Love the 64-65 Falcon's, unfortunately the clean ones are getting pricy. Very nice fabrication work. How did you pick your shock lengths??

Cool, thanks for the response, I was curious Bryce, what spring ratio are you running on the front of your Falcon?

Thanks,

I cycled my suspension, and I end up buying a 14" coil-over with 4" of travel, but since I replaced the crap ball-joints I have a lot more drop so I purchased longer ones

Nice work I have a 66 NOVA pretty much the same cars. Are you stitch welding the whole car great way to add stiffness. And nice work ok the crossmember. And if you wanna brace your upper shock mount just run a tube down and connect it to the motor hount then the lower crossmember bracing everything. GL.

I am running a 500lb spring in the front with a .86 ratio and a 750 lb sway bar with a .5 ratio.

Its funny you say that, my buddy who is a die hard GM guy always asks how my Chevy ll is doing. We get a good laugh out of it. As for the weld, that was my hope but also it makes me feel safer about my car, since I will be driving it a lot harder than it was intended for. Not a bad idea on the brace, but Im going to cut those off, I got longer coil-overs for the front and I would to tie it in to the cage when I get it installed

I just got my new rear springs for the rear of the car






I also got to pick up my rear tires before I left for work







They are a tad wider then the old ones

[LowFast]

Nothing better than a big 'ol 315 on the rear of a Falcon. Can't wait to see pics.

Very nice work. You're making it look easy. I loved my NT555's. They stick well and are made of some freakish compound that seems to last forever.

There's a bicycle company up north here called Ventana--they used to use the term "electric sex welds," because their frames were (probably still are) that nice to look at. Your welds do seem to be in that category.

I think you'll find that the Competition Engineering sway bar, for the rear, anyhoo, is geared for drag racing, in a straight line. You do not want to try and turn with one of those things...

I totally agree Ive been cutting more out to make them fit.

Thank you, they dont stock anything like them at the their stores here, and they have to order them when ever you need, so I was hoping they had a good wear life.

Thank you, I appreciate that. Thats a bummer about the sway bar I unfortunately arleady purchased one and started to install part of.

So after some extra trimming, Drum roll please...... 315's



I had to make some sections to move the frame over, It gives me ruffly a 1/2" on each side of the tire
