Thanks Dale! Yes, it’s mighty fun to drive!

But...I have figured out that I don’t like how the rearend moves laterally. With the design of the rear fender openings, much movement causes the outer tire sidewall to get into the fender opening “lip”. So, I bought a MikeMaierInc panhard bar setup, new bilstein shocks & 1” billet lowering blocks. Hopefully that’ll remedy the rubbing and improve the handling...OH, and improve the appearance.

I also got a new set of door panels. I’ll get those installed and post up pictures in the next few days.

Already got the new rear suspension parts from Mike. One hiccup, but he’s going to remedy it. It won’t prevent me from getting the majority of it all installed

I started the install of the Maier Panhard bar setup today. I got all the stuff that was under there out and did a test fit of the mount. Looks like it’s actually going to clear my current tail pipe layout which is awesome. I’m installing a girdle style differential cover that I’ve had for quite some time then I can be sure the bar is going to clear the cover too.

Remember, nothing is tight or adjusted. Just getting it centered fore & aft as well as side to side.

I continue to move forward on the Falcoon. I swapped out the differential cover and got some more measurements. The panhard bar turned out to be the wrong one too. So the builder is sending the correct length bar and the appropriate spring hanger.

I also ordered some more interior parts...package tray, window cranks etc. I also ordered Precision gaskets for the windshield and back glass because the ones in the car are hammered.
