      64 Falcon Futura build

      The car is a 64 futura 2 door V8 car that was a 260 4 spd. it doesn't have any drive train so I am starting new

      these are picks the previous owner took at his house










      how she sits right now just under a cover under his porch


      Checked the VIN code
      4 Year 1964

      H Assembly Lorain, OH

      17 Body Falcon Futura 2-Door Hardtop

      F Engine 8 Cyl. 260 CID












      here is the pics I took when i went out to look at it. a little rust in the floors and a little in the trunk


      I have a 95 302 that had 60k miles on it but has been sitting for a couple of years...didnt look the best so a complete teardown is happening..

      I couldn't resist with the pic







      tomorrow is climbing into the engine bay and put her on jacks...hopefully pull fenders without all the bolts rusted to the nuts and maybe even pull, master cylinder, heater assy..

      here is some more progress from the weekend. stripped the hood and both fenders and started to strip the undercoating and paint from the fenderwells. had to drill off two bolt heads. ones not going to be to hard to replace but the nutplate in the cowl is going to be a pain to replace. I am going to need to look at renting a media blaster and get it all done rather quickly



      even my girlfriend was out there helping me.


      this was an odd mod that I discovered...probably to adjust the clutch


      some of the bad of the floor

      Heat the under coating up with a plumbers torch and it will scrape off much easier.

      wow i hate sandblasting and filtering the media ...uggg...but I am almost at the point to air off and pressure wash the front end and get all the media and acetone to prep to primer. then spray the jet black. I am going to look at a flat clear also..and get new seam sealant before all of that. and figure out what undercoating to spray in the fenderwells. there is some cancer on the cowl and the torque box on the driver side. I'll take pics of it tomorrow and see what togo from here to fix it.
