check out this post!!!!

do to this rendering i bought a R-apron for the falcon, delta bay mustang sells them. I will get it next week. I cant wait. It will look so sweet. I think i will also add the splitter. Make it functional and adjsutable.

That is a really clean engine bay.

thank you, I built that part of the car first. about 6 years ago now. Looks about the same except for some minor changes.

Which brand are the glass fenders? How was the fit and finish?

Putting a BBF in mine, so wouldn't hurt to get some other weight off the front of the car.

Sweeeet ride!

thanks Windsor,

I got mine from unlimited products and the hood is crites. The fit is good after you spend 9 hours a fender to make them fit. i still need to fiberglass some studs on there so i can get the correct profile.

again welcome to the site, i saw your other post too. Good luck with your project. and post some pics!

[windsor]

cool man, thanks for the info. I haven't heard good things about Unlimited Products....maybe that 9-hours is testament to that? Are they supposed to be "bolt on"?

Crites, on the other hand, is supposed to be the Holy Grail of Ford repro fiberglass.

[Bryce]

i dont think they are bolt on, all holes need to be drilled and mold lines need to be ground off. The crites hood need a little work. But i got if 80% aligned and installed in less than two hours.

i bought the r-apron. Here are some pics with my dad holding it in location.

[windsor]

oh dude, that's so flippin' awesome! I can't wait...

does it bolt right on or any mods have to be made?

[Bryce]

i have to make it fit. no mounting points. i have to make brackets and trim and fit. but it looks awesome. I cant wait to get off work and start working on it tonight.

[windsor]

well worth the trouble of installation...it truly sets the normal Falcon apart. Good luck with it!

[Bryce]

absolutely! i will post pics when its done and perfectly fitted.

[windsor]

funny, it looks like it will fit perfect. Where are the issues, not long enough, etc?

[Bryce]

the width of my fenders is wider than the valance. and i cant move the fenders in at all. the grill determines the width of the fenders. also i need to tweak it a little while mounting it so the profiles are correct.

[Bryce]

so new idea to make the valance fit. cut it in the middle and mount both sides individually. fill the center gap with a piece of aluminum 19" wide. the will transition nicely into the radiator and look functional is it would be forcing air into the radiator.

[Bryce]

windsor,

just for you. I put the front valance on this weekend. i have to split it in the middle. its the only way to line them up with the fenders. Each side is mounted on brackets. I still need to fill the gap in the middle. I will get some pics up here soon. But it looks great.
