65 falcon project

[slocobra]

New guy here. Awesome website you guys have here.

Thought I would post up some pics of my current project, I will post updates as I go along. Kind of in the middle of finishing the framework/back half now. wheels in the pics are 325's but being used only for fitment and measuring. It will be running 17x11 american racing 427's (grey center/reversed offset) with 315's.

cliff notes:
4.6 DOHC cobra motor
procharger
caburated/sullivan intake
tremec 5-speed
8.8 rear
3-link
air ride

I have been wathcing your progress too! Sedans rock!! oh BTW turbochard V8 anythings are cool as hell, not many people can get them setup right, the ones that do are just sick. Your not using a stock block are you?

I bought the same setup for my 4v. I really like the new MSD setup for the mod motors it's just tooo simple!

Well guys, im digging up this ol thread because its finally getting some attention. basically its been on hold for the last 3 years or so sitting in storage. With the economy, a divorce, and custody battle this project got put on hold. I am sure some of you can understand and have been there too. Good part is the ex got nothing car related, I managed to keep all my parts on the shelf and not sell them off to get by, although it crossed my mind as I was counting change to get to work.....lol

anyhow fast forward three years and all is well and the falcon is getting some well deserved attention. I will kind of keep updating as I go. I am sure like me most of you just want pictures...lol one good thing about a 3yr break is that I decided to change almost everything in the rearend and scratch the air ride, scrapped the 8.8 in favor or a 9", decided on a watts for locating , and switched all the arms to 1-1/4 and scrapped the cheap metal to metal heims for johnny joints. I just finished narrowing the rearend, making some misc brackets, and brushing up on my tig welding. Its been a number of years since I have done any. Im normally burning rod on the steam lines at work everyday so getting back to the tig welding took a few trys....lol All the stuff in the pics below is just tacked on the rearend and chassis, feel free to speak up if you see something I may be overlooking or have wrong.
