65 Falcon

[LowFast]

I do allot of fake driving in my car, so they sound perfect for me.



I am 6'3" 225, wide a the shoulders, do you think these are a good seat choice? Also how high are they off of the floor, I need all the headroom I can get in the Falcon.

I'm 5'11" and 178, with somewhat wide shoulders and have a decent amount of wiggle room. I think they would work really well for you. I used brackets from Procar and with me in the seat, with it upright, I have 4.5" of clearance above my head. The seat back is 18" below the inside roof line. Hope that helps.

Good info, thanks!

I have a set of ProCars in my car as well but I have as many miles on them as you do. lol

You'll like them, they are VERY supportive and comfortable. I'd get them if I could swing the $$.

Car looks good and I love the seats. Good to see the different ideas for our cars.

Nice work--it's starting to look like mine on the inside, but with undoubtedly nicer welding!

Your car is looking great!! So few nice 64/65 2dr sedan builds.

This body style looks so much better when lower than stock... and so much worse the more "Gasser" they are.

Do your side bars just go straight down? Trying to get ideas for mine.

Thanks! I really like the way it's coming together. Better than I ever imagined.

My side bars go pretty much from B (shoulder height) to A, right at the front of the door opening. I've got 2x3 outriggers (plated on ends first) welded from the rockers to my subframe connectors at A and B pillar points; at each of these four points, I've landed the main roll bar hoop and the front down bars, rather than expecting the stock sheetmetal to benefit from the .120 plates.

Those look good. Still tossing around ideas. Was thinking about having a bar that has a slight bend in it. Hope that will make getting in and out easier. Don't want to do swing outs.

Took her out for a quick spin. Pic-

I'm a big fan. The color reminds me a lot of mine when I first got it.

What master cylinder are you running? Are you running a hydraulic clutch as well?

Wilwood 1" fronts and 7/8" rears. Yup, have a Wilwood cylinder and a Modern driveline slave setup.

Very nice. Great job.

Ok, I see now that you are running a Wilwood pedal assembly as well as the master cylinder. Do you mind sharing what pedal assembly you purchased or part number would be most helpful. I believe I have the same Wilwood brake set up as you (6 piston/13" front and 4 piston rear). I am curious how you mounted the assembly as well? Thanks for your help.

I like your wheels better

Yup, same brake setup. I am using Wilwood part number 340-11295. I cut out the firewall and put in a new piece of sheet metal with holes for the new masters. I did this mainly because I screwed up the first time and didnt measure twice.
I will try and snap some pictures and upload them for you.
