Just thought I would add a little memory of mine: One of the most unique STREET cars I ever saw was an all black 64 Falcon Sprint with a blown all chrome 427. It had a tube axle, Moon fuel tank (remember those) & real American magnesium wheels. This baby shook the ground when idling through a drive-in restaurant!!

I doubt anyone makes modified shock towers, you are probably going to have to modify them yourself. Also plan on stronger front and rear suspension, frame ties, and at least a 6 point roll bar to tie the car together a bit.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

One of the coolest cars I remember from my youth was a buddys 63 falcon,primer grey,Slicks,econoline straight axle,390 4speed,with a tunnel ram & 2 4 barrels stickin thru the hood, Scariest thing I ever rode in (may have been nothing more than the loose nut behind the wheel , I ain't rode with him since ,"30 years ago"
But I still thought it was a pretty neat car..
