65 Falcon

[65_Falcon]

Have lurked around here for years, finally posting my project (finally have some money to do stuff).

65 Falcon 2dr Sedan
Picked the car up with a inline 6 and 4 speed. Swapped to a 302 and T5.
Just ordered front and rear suspension kit from TCI, which I should get in about a week.

Here are some pics.

Sweeeeet....love me a 65 Falcon. Have you seen Bryce's thread?

[65_Falcon]

I have seen his thread, extremely jealous. I wish I had the skills to do that kind of work.

[Bryce]

Haha, thanks guys. Sweet ride. You will like the TCI setup.

[LowFast]

Nice ride, much more "together" than mine. The guys are TCI have been great to me, hands down the best aftermarket company I have ever worked with. They have hlped me with my "custom" set-up and have sent various parts on a moments notice on several occasions. How did you option out your TCI kit? Look forward to watching the build.

Sick! Would you post up a few more "car" pics? like to see it from the side.

What engine are you running?

[65_Falcon]

Thanks guys!

@LowFast- Yeah, TCI was/is awesome to work with.
TCI Options:
Front- 13" 6 Piston Black Wilwood
Coil-Overs
Power Steering Rack
Ididit Column and adapters

Rear- 12" 4 Piston Black Wilwood
9" Center section, with stock housing, 31 Spline Axles, TruTrac Diff
Swaybar, Coil-overs

I'm still trying to figure out how I am going to hook up the power steering. Been looking at the Maximum Motorsports and KRC kits, but was wondering if anyone had any experience with them?

@cheapthrillz- I'm running a 302 out of a 91 Mustang. The bottom end is stock right now. I have AFR 165's, Victor jr(which I will probably change), Holley DP 650, B303 Cam, 1.6 rockers. My plan is to build the bottom end and toss a hairdryer on it.

I will have to look when I get back from being on the road. I think I have some and if not, I will snap some and post them.

Ordered wheels to cover the brakes. I tossed around ideas for about a year on this one, but I think I found something to fit the car and the look I want.

ET Wheels ACIII
Got them in 17x7 and 17x8.

Nice wheels, I am running the LTIII's on my car, 18x8 F 18x11 R. Team III (ET Wheels) Builds a really high quality wheel, the polish on the lips of mine are literally a mirror. Did you order directly from Team III or from a 3rd party vendor?

Great looking sedan - I had a pic (I think) of you car as my desktop for quite a while....

The LTIII was my backup plan, but just fell in love with these.

I tried to locate a third party but couldn't find one. I faxed my order in, but am still waiting for a confirmation.

Yup, that's mine! Lol

Try Richard Oben at North Racecars, he is the intermediary for all the FFR Cobra guys. I found talking to Team III direct next to unbearable, good wheels, but not so great on the promptness of return communication. Richard was great, I fed him the information (and money) and he handled the rest, no mark-up either same prices as you would get direct so I figured why not.

I second LowFast on this ! I know Richard Oben personally (since I built 2 FFRs) and he has a lot of knowledge on everything Ford ! (actually Chevy too since he also builds FFR GTMs which use Chevy Corvette Parts), the point being that he will make it right, give him a call ! Awesome project by the way.

[65_Falcon]

I will give ET another day or so, then reach out to Richard. Thanks for the info guys!

[fordsbyjay]

Nice to see another Falcon. I love the wheel choice but the wife hated them so they didn't make it to my Falcon. lol. I will be following along.

Who makes those valve covers?

[Hotwhilz]

Nice stance! Good looking engine compartment! Have you tried to turn the air filter so the line will match the strut braces?

Cool little weapon!
