Well, the wife & I ran away to Chattanooga this weekend to go to the Coker Tire cruise-in. We got to hangout with board members Cc69Rat & his Dad NoNeck and family. It was a great time & got to see & HEAR Chad’s ‘69 turned ‘68 restomod beast. This truck is absolutely badA$$!!! I did get back home this afternoon & worked on getting the EFI tank final installed & getting the initial lines run to the frame. Hopefully the fuel filter will show up tomorrow so I can get the rest of the fuel lines run. I did also get the AOD fluid cooler lines run. |

Cool little Falcon and nice looking work! Tagging along.

I finally got a chance to tinker on the Falcon some today. I got the new EFI (lower) intake installed, mounted the AAW fuse panel and pulled the 2 engine bay looms through the firewall, and got the Ron Francis EFI harness pulled through the firewall too.

Re: 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon aka Martha
So, I got some more wiring done & I remember why I don’t like living in the humidity belt. I’ve decided to add a/c in the shop.

I’ve been pretty lax lately when it comes to working on Martha, as I’ve been pretty hard and heavy on Walter. I did test fit some new wheel that worked out great. 17x7” Magnum 500 replicas with 0* offset and 245/40r17 BFG’s & they fit like a glove. So, I’m either going to go with them or the Halibrand replicas.

Re: 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon aka Martha
I think old Martha looks mighty fine with those wheels .

Re: 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon aka Martha
The Magnums would be my choice, they look right on that car. Love that Falcon, BTW.

Re: 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon aka Martha
Magnum 500!
That engine shot is magic! Very cool. |
Re: 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon aka Martha
Thanks guys!!! That was one wheel that I borrowed off my buddies 67 Mustang. I put it on both rears (since they are the smaller wheel well) and the d/s front. It fit like a glove! I like them too, but I hate to hear “copycat” from him :lol:

I thought about this one too, but I’m afraid the grey part would disappear with the way the machined part seems to StAnD OuT.

Re: 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon aka Martha
The Magnums definitely get my vote! What brand are the wheels posted above in post #36 ?

Re: 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon aka Martha

I sold my 77 C10 and had a set of LED headlights that I never installed in it. So I put them in Martha and I love ‘em.

Wheels are mounted and balanced! I had every intention of putting at least 2 of them on tonight, but when I got them M&B my wife called with dinner. And I don’t like to miss a meal :lol:

I got a couple of the wheels on the car just to see how they look. I like them a lot. I do think I’ll have to lower it a little, but that’s easy enough.
|
Re: 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon aka Martha
Looks great....I agree...some altitude adj is in order...
|
Re: 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon aka Martha
oooh, I love Falcons! clean, classic lines.. nice work, going to follow..
btw, little trivia.. fastest bird on earth is a falcon, 240mph in full dive! |
Re: 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon aka Martha
Thanks guys!!! The car already has Global West Suspension pieces & parts under it. I’ll just have to either replace or cut the existing front springs (depending on their condition).
And, that’s cool info about the Falcon Killer Bee |
Re: 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon aka Martha
Looking good!!!:metal:

Well, I hate...HATE... wiring, but I officially started working on it. I’ve come to the conclusion that Chip Foose, nor any other super car builder is going to redo the car (& Walter) for me. So I spent the better part of this afternoon getting the new headlight & parking light harness tied into the AAW harness. I’m going to try like He77 to do some wiring every evening after work. I figure even 3-4 wires finalized is a big step forward. Did I mention that I HaTE wiring??? |
