Looks good. Have you looked at a convertible Falcon. I had no idea, but the torque box bracing and the under-seat bracing was crazy compared to a sedan or coupe. My buddy brought his over to work on and I was impressed how much better it was then a comparative mustang.

Look at this: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...d.php?t=740025

It might be a good idea to incorporate those features.

Thanks

That looks like a nice hunk of metal to start with--the outer parts look amazing! When I started on my Falcon three years ago, I thought I was going for a very mild daily driver . . . oops! The crappy paint's the only thing that stayed true to my original idea...

Rustomatic,

Thanks !!! yea she has a solid body for sure .... nice to start with some good metal and not a bucket of rust ........... I was lucky to get this one from the south west .... my other project is a southern Cali car also ..........

Michael,

thanks for the link and the information..... I would have imagined that a convertible would have a lot more bracing in the floor seeing how it does not have any support from the roof.

[DC-69]

It was not as bad as I thought it was going to be to get the front end cleaned up and ready for the Mustang II crossmember.



I got this pile



to get to this

[MichaelUser]

Nice pile of old goodies. This will be a great ride. Keep it going...

[DC-69]

Had to share this pic, got my wheels in. I like them the Wife picked them out Old school look for sure

[Munssey]

Those are way old school. Funny enough, my wife picked out the wheels on my Falcon too. I guess the ladies are good at shoe shopping, no matter if it's for them or a car.

small update I managed to squeeze in some time to get the frame rails beefed up so I would have a good
strong frame to mount the mustang ii crossmember to. Hope to get it all welded up this weekend.

Cool build! Really like the subframe connectors! I'm curious to see the direction the Falcon goes. These Falcons seem to be getting more and more popular...you guys are making me want to find a Falcon project...which means my wife would kill me since I'm still too deep in my current project ;-)

[DC-69]

I know it does not look like much but is sure took longer than I thought it would to just reinforce the front frame
rails. I received my crossmember from the guy's up north hope to have it welded up and install this weekend

Great project and your doing a nice job on it.

[injcted]

Great work! Glad to see some old school Fords!!!

[wfo guy]

I'm not the master and I don't know everything. If you have it media blasted or do it yourself, you will find all kinds of things and in the end, it will be as good as it can be.
