Thanks John, I almost forgot about that. I walk by it everyday on my way to work. 12 hours later I walk by it again. Friday is my off day and I should be able to work on it.

Here you Go!! A great way to make your Falcon more aerodynamic! http://autoholics.com/2011/05/07/Com...us-Nose-529460

It looks like the engine got too hot and the front end sort of melted. Or maybe it is the Brarba Streisand edition.

Thanks, I saw that going around the net today. I was hoping it was photo chopped but ended up a ruined comet.

Actually lots of progress! Fuel system is back in the car a few more fuel line clamps and thats done. I built and installed the aluminum spacers for the control arms, watts links, and shocks. Basically just need to finalize the brake line, Tighten some bolts, prime the engine and a few other things I cant think of right now.

Oh and set up the intially geomtry setting. probably 75% antisquat with the lowest roll center. And dial in ride height after I put some miles on it to settle the springs.

I was thinking the same thing.

Sounds like a plan! Can't wait to see it driving!

Rear suspension is finally complete.

The next problem is with the wide tires up front I have some contact with the fiberglass fenders. This was not an issue until the front springs settled and the ride height dropped another inch.

So I will be doing a small stretch to gain clearance. I might drive it next week!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Job. Been making my way from the beginning to current on your build.

P town my friend... I think you should bring it to P Town 6-4 and 6-5. What can I do to help you get ready and make it?

You should try and make it up to Fontucky for the NMCA autocross in July. The sales guys will be in Columbus that weekend but I will be there with Don(the guy with the black '32 Ford). I'd love to see the Falcon out there kicking some butt.
