Re: 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon aka Martha

I also got the last few pieces of the interior back in... I really like the black pieces, they really seem to break up the red. I’m not gonna lie...I wish I had done the seats in black too ��

I don't know about all black. I like it the way it is now!

Re: 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon aka Martha

After a few drives, I did figure out that I don’t like the 17” factory style steering wheel, so I put in a 14” black billet one. Geez, it’s fantastic! You can see the Dakota Digital gauges too.

Okay guys, I raised the rearend back up 1” to clear up the rubbing. I’ll revisit this issue later...at least I can drive and enjoy it.

Which means I’ll be starting back on Walter

The wife & I took it out to dinner...

I have to say that it’s funny to see the faces of folks on the interstate when I come booking by at 80+ mph.

Exactly why I took the Falcon out today. Hell, it may be another month until the weather cooperates again.

Who knew that it wasn’t going to be the weather but a pandemic that would keep me out of my Falcon. Drove it some Monday.

Re: 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon aka Martha

Man, that car is fantastic. I love stuff that you don't see every day. Most folks seeing you booking at 80mph+ don't even know what they are looking at.

SWWEEEEET!

Re: 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon aka Martha

I decided to try installing a set of Detroit Speed mini tub kit for a 64-1/2 to 70 Mustang. The tracking number says it will be here on Monday. My reason for them is that I have a set of 18x10” Fikse Ford Motorsport edition FM10’s that need a home...so I ordered an inner barrel to make one into an 8” wheel to do some test fitting.

Re: 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon aka Martha

After changing to a trunk gas tank fill setup, I was getting a lot of fumes inside the car. So, I bit the bullet and added a II MUCH VSR Vent System to remedy the problem.

Re: 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon aka Martha

Drove it to a couple of local gatherings yesterday. It did great! No failures, smells etc, but after my wife finally drove it a few miles, she agreed with me that the current brake setup SuCkS, so she said fix it! Front 13” 6-piston Wilwoods are ordered
