Project BLUEprint, 1965 Falcon

[Bryce]

The skill of the people on this board is incredible. Nice work.

Thanks couper. Working on my car has taught me a lot. I think the working on my car with my dad paved my career path to become an engineer. The experience I gained fabricating and planning and designing this car has helped me with my current job. Now the training and experience I have gained from my job has allowed me to be more creative and a better car builder. Full circle!

Sounds like my life story .

Great job on the build - enjoy following another post from someone that thinks outside the box.

Hey Bryce, it was great to meet you at the booth. You caught me a little off guard initially and i didn't realize it was you, so if I seemed a little goofy about what you were first saying, that's why.
I was expecting someone older with a pocket protector, white collared shirt, and thick glasses.

Once I realized who you were, it was cool talking to you and your dad. Now get that Falcon ready for Del Mar so we can have the Falcon shoot out

HAHA, i guess thats a compliment. Not all engineers wear thick glasses and pocket protectors. HAHA. I think I surprised a few other guys that I meet as SEMA.

Don is was great meeting you too.

So I just noticed, if you sort project updates by views and replies I am on the first page of both. I guess a lot of people are following this build. Very cool. Thanks for following.

HAHAHA! That gives me great hope for the field I am going into!

Bryce looking at you watts link design may have helped me with a design problem I am having with mine. Love following your build.

HAHA, sometimes the young engineers have some good ideas. We are still thinking outside the box.

Cool, glad I can help! You have a great build going too.

Yeah I know.. It is just interesting that the stereotype is like that. Us young bucks have our work cut out for us to change that.

HAHA, very true.

So I built some aluminum mock up brackets for the 3rd link chassis mount. I will bolt those in tonight and post some pictures. I made them out of .032" thick aluminum. which will temporarly hold the upper link to get some ideasabout clearances during susepnsion travel.

[Bryce]

So i got the mock up brackets installed, I even had my wife out in the garage holding the wrench on the inside of the car while I tightened the bolts from below. That was awesome. HAHA!







Obviuosly the pinion snubber is in the way and needs to be removed. I also dont have the holes mounted for the link attachment.

[Bjkadron]

Wow! Those little Falcons are tight! My Duster has a good bit more space under there. Looks great!

Also congratulations on getting your wife out into the garage! Hopefully it will be all downhill for her from here on out!

HAHA. I just noticed that. It said Pass for passenger first. Then I drilled the hole haha. Thats funny, where is my acetone I need to fix that.

This will be my 3rd suspension I built myself. The first two were front suspensions.

Bryce, Coming along nicely. Glad to finally meet you at SEMA. It's always nice to put a face to a username. But I was also wondering where your pocket protector was lol

Same here Luke, I am glad I ran into you.




Next time there is a protouring event I am going to wear a short sleeve white button up shirt with a pocket and pocket protector with a tire gauge and a slide rule. That way everyone can recognize me. HAHA.

Do I really seem that old and nerdy?
