1969 Falcon Build

[Bradfords_garage]

Helloooooo again! Just a quick update on the falcon. First, Episode 2 is up on the YouTube's. Check it out HERE!

Second, have you seen the videos of InnovaSpeed's (sbeck09) Road Race F150?! He did a great job! Looks like a lot of fun to drive! He's posting videos on Instagram if you haven't seen them.

And finally, here are some photos. I ended up having to patch two spots on the rocker. Both spots were directly above the drain holes in the rocker which I find curious. I guess the salt was splashing up through them and inside the rocker.

I have the rocker all patched up, though. I ended up treating the rusty spots where there weren't holes with POR15 and then did a weld-thru primer over the hole inside of the rocker before putting the new piece of 16ga on the inside. It looks good. I still have to weld the bottom corner and finish it, but the spot welds are all done. I hung the door on it too to make sure the rocker didn't warp or anything and it still fits well, so thats a relief. Hopefully get going on the actual chassis in the next couple of weeks here.

The rear patch after I TIG welded it in.


Before tacking the bottom corner of the new inner panel I flipped the car over and set a level across the rockers to get it level, and checked the inner panel for plumb.




Door still fits..whew




Thanks for watchin!!
