Very cool project you have going on, and you are doing very nice work on it!!! Keep at it!

Well it looks like time is nearing closer here , and the wheels will be spinning soon .

.

aaahhhhh yes, nothing like a bit of a sheet metal tune up to make all things right!!! Nice work Falcon!!!

Thanks, guys. Im hoping for a crank test over the Thanksgiving holidays. Wont have a radiator yet but I should be able to do a quick test start.

Getting real close to firing this thing up. I finished all the engine wiring and fuel lines, put in an HEI distributor, plus finished the fender wells and got them and the fenders bolted on and adjusted. It was really nice out yesterday so I put the back wheels on and rolled it outside to see what the stance looks like. I used 2" blocks in the back and cut a coil in the front; I think it's about right where I want it. It was cool to be able to roll it out and clean the spot where it's been sitting for several months. It was a mess.

SWEET! That's got sleeper written all over it.. 8-)

Lookin' might fine Falcon!!! Going to be a blast cruizin' in a sleeper like that!!! Stance came out just right, looks like a renovated stocker!

Yes it is coming along SWEET

^ 3 , you sure have it looking great and as said sittin real purty .

.

That's what im going for; I like the stocker look with a few extra beans where it counts. You cant call a 318 "fast" but it will definitely have more get up and go than the 100 hp flattie. This is a great weekend to get stuff done in the garage; extra days off and this is my wife Christmas decorating weekend. I just pull the boxes of decorations out of storage and get the hell out of her way! Her and my youngest daughter are on a mission as soon as those boxes get opened.

We call this "Transformation Friday", as the day the house is transformed from "normal" to "CHRISTMAS!!!" My job is to get the boxes out (about 35 ), set up the tree and get the lights working, and get the outside lights up (done two weeks ago on a 70F day!!) Getting started on the box movement now....

Got a few more things bolted on today; spent most of the day on my 48.

Wow, it really looks good Falcon! Keep up the great work.

That is looking great. I love watching this project come together.

Thanks, guys; Im really itching to fire this dog up and see what she sounds like. More stuff done; the grill and all the little panels behind it are bolted on, plug wires on, swapped to a Demon carb, accelerator cable and pedal done other than hooking it up to the carb, battery tray built and installed, and the radiator came in today. It looks like it's going to be a good fit; just need to build a mount for it.
