65 falcon project

[slocobra]

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.
