Who makes those valve covers?

I picked them up at a local swap meet. The boxes didn't have a name brand and nothing is stamped on them, just a blank white box. Sorry

Nice stance! Good looking engine compartment! Have you tried to turn the air filter so the line will match the strut braces?

Cool little weapon!

Thanks!
I did give that a shot but liked the way this looked better.

Very nice build. I can't wait to see this one come together and get some track time.

FYI: Your 13" brake kit came in today so they will be assembling the spindles shortly. I am however still waiting for the 3rd member. Getting closer though.

Thanks. I can't wait to drive the car, let alone get it on a track. lol

Awesome!

Got my wheels and tires this week. ET wheels has some interesting customer service, no complaints, just interesting.

Wow awesome wheels

[65_Falcon]

Got my parts on Monday. Thanks TCI.

Got to work on Tuesday morning.




Need to finish up the swaybar and brakes. Then its time to tackle the front.

Anyone recommend a place to get stainless brakes lines and what master cylinder should I be running. A little lost when it comes to brakes, so I need some education.

thanks

Got the rear almost 99% completed. Just need to finish the brakleines. I ordered a new pedal assembly and hydraulic clutch setup. Can't wait to install that.

Bada$$

I can't wait until you can roll it out a little farther to get a wider view of those giant chunks of rubber sitting underneath it.

the valve covers look like Pro Comp covers, I got the same covers in black from ebay.

In that last pic, the rear view. It looks like the tire may rub on that inner lip. You may want to massage it back a little. I had a tire get cut from that lip on my 64 Fairlane. Just a thought.
Love the build and thinking about those wheels for my 65 Falcon also.

Its funny...they sold Falcon coupes here in Australia from 64-66, but they didn't look like the US ones.

This is a 65 Falcon (Australia)


This is a 66

I agree. My plan is to take a short trip around the block and see what happens. Then massage as needed.
It took me forever to decide on those rims, tossed around at least 30-40 options. Lol

Me too! I should hopefully start work on the front this coming week.

Btw.. Your shipping department had me going crazy looking for the front sway bar and misc bolts. Crafty guys put it in the steering rack box. Lol.

It looks good. There is plenty of room for that size tire with a little trimming.

I have a 275 in the stock wheel well a little bit of rub during autocrosing.

Did you have to trim/massage anything?

Just a little hammer work.
