Falcon Eddie's 1970-1/2 Falcon 4 door driver build

you guys kill me...ford vs chev vs AMC vs Dodge.....I guess I am 100% American Male....if it has wheels and a motor, I like it!!!!!

From builing my soap box derby car in 1976 race in Newport, KY. or taking a riding mower and making a go cart, to the Daul Quad DZ302 in my 35, it still makes my heart pound, even the worst I had is pretty darn good....

Man. whats that picture of porn doing on this thread?

I like the sound of that old Studie motor. Those solid lifters are something you don't hear anymore. Years ago, all the cars with racing cams had solid lifters. They sound so cool.

here's another one.....

I have a VERY rare 1970 1/2 Ford Falcon project that i started over 4 years ago and now has lost interest. Google 1970 1/2 Ford Falcon for more info if you are not aware of history. Most people confuse this half year model Falcon as a Torino. When we bought the car, It was a rolling chasis. I spent most of my summer sanding the body down to bare metal. Had a professional body shop fix the few minor dings and dents and then primer it. The body is now ready to be painted and everything is removed allowing for a professional paint color change (the original was very ugly pea green). I have replaced front drum brake spindles with disc brake spindles along with new rotors, pads and bearings. The rear end has been replaced with a Ford 9" rear end also with 275 posi trac, I have Original dash is in very good shape. I have dropped in a Fresh 351W with mid cam and automatic transmission that was working prior to installing. I installed new headers on the 351W prior to installing motor but there is no exhaust past the headers. Grille and headlight buckets have been repainted to match Cobra scheme as we were planning on building a Cobra clone. Seats were re-upholstered professionally by previous owner and they have been stretch film wrapped until just recently. No rust, straight body and frame. Bumpers need to be re-chromed as well as a lot of the chrome moldings. All glass is near perfect. The car has never seen the outside of my garage since it was primered. I also have a Ford C6 transmission that goes with the car for anyone wanting to put in a big block. The original radiator was professionally rebuilt and tested not too long ago and we also have the radiator that came with the 302. I need the space in my garage. I have a clear Texas title which was signed over to me but never actually re-titled since we were not sure how long we would take to finish the car. I have right at $4,800 into this project. I have two flat hoods and i also have a set of bucket seats and a NEW set of 1970 Texas plates. YES IT WILL CRANK AND RUN

Never got any pics of the 2 door I was interested in so I will just keep on working on the 66 and worry about finding something to put the 460 in when I am done with the 66.

HEY DOUG...found you a HOOD....

Where and how much? I just bought somebody a bunch of bedroom furniture yesterday so funds are almost non-existent. I have to see about a distributor. The thing's really been running rough and Junkyard Jeff thinks it's the the distibutor is wore out. Kinda want to drive it to the Rumble but..............we'll see. We thought of going in in two mostly white four door Fords. The thing's probably going to get a V8 in the near future unless the State gives starts paying me for fogging for bugs. I left Jeff's house the other evening and could barely see him standing in the driveway!

Hoods are $45 bucks, it is at U pull and pay, I got the front door latches, the front and windsheilds and chrome, the stock steering wheel, somebody took the dash cluster and clutch pedals, has the 3 speed manual, pretty picked over, but hood looked ok as did the deck lid....Just FYI.....ford 6 clys are a dime a dozen, as are ford V8's, I bought a roller 5.0 with a AOD for 200 bucks...that's going in Bubba tow truck...
