Falcon Gasser

[69fury]

Been a while since i posted: The 61Falcon Gasser build is back on track- 415"Smallblock Dodge, 727, and new toy- quickchange rear.

Getting set to put in 4link-not as traditional as ladderbar, but i'm wanting it to work more than i'm wanting to be held to a standard..

then cage, and some small stuff like plumbing, wiring, cooling, steering, interior, headers, shock mounts, bodywork, paint, lol.....

Found the bare body in a barn, quickchange in a barn, Vr4 was in a barn/shop, lol.























Funnycar rear, then run at dirt track, now back to dragstrip...



rebuilt quickie next to a ford9"






by the way- soak rusty collectors or any other steel in vinegar for a few days before taking to the car wash...

WOW! Fantastic barn finds! I don't know which is more of a treasure... the VR4, the Falcon, or the quick-change rear end?

This is promising to be a great build. Make sure you keep us posted with more pics... and once you're done, you should add your car to the SCH Garage!

that is a smokin hot looking ride.
have you got any updates on your ride yet???

Thanks, guys. Work's been slow on the car due to the whole single father thing, but the 4 link is almost installed, then the cage goes in, and i have the steering finally scienced out:

(there's only one guy that makes the parts needed to make a Ford car/steering box controll Chevy steering/axle, with a Mopar mill in between the two, and it's *this guy* right here, lol)

I've got a few big ticket items to purchase, Axleshafts, coilovers but the rest is all 100 dollar or less items that i can piece together.

did you make the fender flares or were they adapted from some other source.
i think they look very good on the car

[69fury]

Thanks, they were made from scratch using a shrinker/stretcher on a piece of L shaped sheetstock.

I really wish the verticle edge on the side of the flare was smaller, like a 68 camaro, not a 08 charger, but it is what it is- i may redo them before she goes to paint.
