Here's a couple more shots of the crossmember and the upper control arm mounts

Larger than 18x8 is going to be very difficult unless you stretch the tire. My 18x8 with 245 tire are a pretty tight fit at my low ride height. 18x11 will require relocating the framerails out back, an 18x12 becomes more difficult and would most likely require a whole new back-half to the car to give room. I will tell you , on these little Falcons a 315 tire on an 11" rim looks like a steamroller out back.

Cool, thanks for the good info

[evilucy65]

So far the test fitting the front end has gone well with it all fitting

Nice Work!
Too bad about Helix, but it's good to know. Your cross member looks way better anyways.

[Jetfixr320]

Great work, the Crossmember looks great!

I have FR500's on my falcon

[drflex]

a+ on the new cross member

[evilucy65]

Thanks guys I appreciate the compliments.

FR500's, I bet that they look pretty sick on your car

[evilucy65]

My new rear axle from Currie showed up Friday. I have to say, they have excellent craftsmanship at their facility.

[Jetfixr320]

FR500 on my 65.

[evilucy65]

Looking good with the 500's

[Bryce]

Cool, another falcon!

[Jetfixr320]

Thanks, need to start a build thread someday.

I really like the FR500s im thinking my DD 95 mustang will get some at some point.

[evilucy65]

I got to work a little more on the front end finally.

[trmexrunner]

love the new crossmember! i am alittle concerned with how the top a-arm/ coil over mount is. i think it would have quite i bit of flex when cornering hard. Are you planning on doing an engine cage if so that might be a great way to tie into them. love the falcons. keep up the goodwork looks 200% better than that piece of crap.

[evilucy65]

I haven't actually thought about it, but the upper and lower mounts are welded together so I will see what kind of flex it has once everything is together and go from there. I appreciate the compliment.

[evilucy65]

I haven't had a lot of time to work on the car but I did get a little done on the firewall. There is still a lot of hole to fill though.

[evilucy65]

I was able to cut the air ride 4 link up I had for 65 mustang and make it fit. So its the Falcon got to see the sun for the first time in 3 years. Its crazy how much of a appearance change the rear-end being narrowed 2" on each side makes on the car.

PM me your email. I will send those pictures to you. Work PC is preventing me from sending a PM.
