Great cars those old Falcons. Love the fab work going into the rear suspension.

Thanks Tony,

The rear has taken me way longer than I expected.

F the rain. I had a wasted day. Hopefully tomorrow I can get some work done. I need to paint and this cold wet weather is just not worth painting and having it look like crap. Well, I am just venting.

And I cant pull my bandsaw out to do any cutting either. At least I got my TV mounted on the wall.

[Bryce]

Well, I got my subframe connectors paint blue! The color looks great. I also got some self etching primer on the frame cradle. Tomorrow there will be color on the cradle. woohoo!

Falcons are really cool cars! My dad has a ranchero and I hope to add a wagon to the collection at some point.

Good luck with your projects! keep it ford!

You bet... I've a little problem I'm working on now that a SolidWorks model might prove very helpful.

Here are some updated pictures, as promised. All the pieces are that bolt on to the car are painted.


Here are the frame saddles with shock mounts

The lighting was not very good in my garage tonight. The pictures look washed out.

Nice work. The color will be a nice contrast underneath.

Thanks. I will be painting the entire underbody the same color as the SFC's. The gold hammertone will look great against the blue. the gold hammertone matches gold iridite pretty closely.

Looks good Bryce. I like the color.

[Bryce]

Thanks Will. The color should look really good when all painted.
