Bryce, That is awesome! Congrats to you and your wife. Try to enjoy as much of it as you can, The delivery of my daughter was one of the most amazing things I have ever witnessed. Now she is 18 in college. It goes by quick.

mine just turned two.

you tend to forget the cars and other "stuff" when the little one is awake and wants to play with daddy.

congradulations. my prayers go out for a healthy wife and child, and an uneventful pregnancy.






by the way, your house will no longer be your own, and your laptop will probabloy get broken. thats the two things my dad and the books never warned me about.

Congrats Bryce, but let me encourage you as a father of two girls, get as much down NOW as you can. You will find yourself to be like you can't believe after the little helper shows up.

I hope to have alot of the bigger car projects and house project done this summer!

[Bryce]

Congrats Bryce! As others have said, get things done while you can. I did my TKO swap when my daughter was only one, most of the work was done early mornings and late nights to keep the wife happy. She's 3 now and loves to "try" and help.

Thats a super cool picture!!

HAHA, thanks Michael. Do I at least get to keep my garage?

[dusterbd13]

i kept most of mine. except for christmas when we use it to hide christamas presents, or theres other kid stuff taking up space temporarily. i did get to keep my recliner most of the time too....


pick up the book "be prepared". it was the greatest thing that i was given when expecting to be a dad and scared ****less.

Thanks Michael

Well I got some paint on my parts. So I am at least making progress. I have very little fabrication left. only 8 holes to drill and tap and some grinding. Then more painting. Then final assembly. My wife is out of town this week so I will have few distractions.

Congrats Bryce, that's great news!

Now Go. Go. Go. Get off pro-touring and get as much done as you can now. And when I say, "get as much done as possible", I mean on the car(s), not the house. In the not too distant future I have a feeling it will be far easier to justify working on the house, than on the Falcon.

[Bryce]

Thanks Matt,

I have house projects too, but I am trying to postpone those so I can stay focused on the falcon. My goal now is to get the car driveable.

Awsome Falcon and Great attention to detail! I would like to make a front suspension like yours.

I'm finding most of the parts, but having trouble finding the Cross shafts for the UCA. Where did you get them or did you machine them yourself?

Most of the cross shafts I'm finding are 5.5" to 7" across the mounting holes.

Thanks,
Steve

Thanks Steve!

I actually made my own LCAs and the UCAs are not off the shelf pieces. The cross shafts are actually from TCP. My next itteration of this front suspension will have an adjustable Roll Center via UCA mounting point.

Also check out opentracker for cross shafts.
