'63 Falcon project
Seems everyone misses it more than me. We had a good run together, but it was time to let someone else enjoy it.
Made a dent in the Falcon parts list at the swap meet today! One major purchase, for a minor price! Got 4 wheels and tires for $325. Two 15x9" and two 15x4" ET Classic spokes, with 275-60-15 and 185-75-15 tires. They look like the old American Torq Thrust, but these have some patina. I like that they're not too highly polished, but they do need a good cleaning. I'll probably sell the rear tires, as I already have the pie crust slicks on order, and that will bring the price down some more. Not sure what the center caps are, as they are marked P/S?


Picked up a brand new pair of subframe connectors for '60-'65 Falcons for $50, and that will make my plan to add support from the front to back much easier! I can bolt them on, weld them, and then just put in a piece from my 1"x3" box to the connectors and be done. Lots less work, and probably a savings in money too.
After finding nobody even knows what a clutch bellcrank pivot ball is the last few days, I found two of them sitting together on a table for $1 ea., so that saved me time and money! Got a bunch of other little things for the Burb, and other projects too. My buddy bought a really nice little '39 Ford coupe roller, with no engine, trans, or interior, but very straight, and rust free Ca. car for $7,000. It's very cool! Even had American Torq Thrust on it!

The ET wheels are a bit strange. Might be from different era(s). The front are not unilug, but rears are. One rear has "ET" cast into it, but the other is blank. I'll clean them up a bit, but don't want them polished too highly and ruin the patina.
Another amazing day of finds! An MSD 6AL box, and MSD distributor for $110! A chrome BBC oil pan and timing cover for $25! TH400/ST10 long yoke for $10. 1.5 gal. "Moon" style tank for $50. Bunches of other small misc. pieces for the engine or car for pennies on the dollar! It was crazy fun!



this thing is gonna be sweet.
