started cutting on the 64
Well I got up ealry this morning to start cuttin on my falcon. Im try to get the axle measurement so Currie can make the housing and i can pick it up the day after fabulous ford show. So Im tryin to get 18x10 Boyd F01's to fit in the rear, I didnt have to cut asmuch as I thought, all the inner fenders up to the rear sub-frame. i will also have to c-notch the subframe to get the car to sit where i want it. Here are a few pics. Let me know what you guys think.
this is my first attempt @ getting my mock up tire to fit..no cutting done yet
Inner fenders removed.. looking better
this should be pretty close to the driving height.
goin to have to notch the rear frame

Well I got all my cuts done in the rear, removed all the front factory suspension in preperation for the mustang II suspension install. I couldnt help but put the car down where i would want it to sit at driving height.

Looks awesome! I'm planning on doing something similar with my '64 wagon, using 17x7 (narrowed) and 18x10 Bullitt wheels. I have the car in storage right now, so I havent started cutting yet.

Thx 67Velle & gearheads78. Im a fan of big dollar builds but I just cant afford one. With most local hotrod shop charging $80.+ an hour in labor just installing the mustang II front end would cut into my budget big time.
Well I ran into an issue with the front spindles and the Baer brake kit but it getting resolved.
I was out in SoCal this weekend which allowed me to go by Currie and pick up my axle housing and axles. So i decide to dry assemble everything so we could make sure everything fits and take measurements for the 4 link.
Its a 8" with Torino ends from Currie with 31 spline axles, Aluminum center, Richmond gears, with a posi.
