So I thought I would post up a current pictorial of the daily grind here at SRC
This wont be as frequent or as interesting as Rodgers Ironworks shop updates.
But enjoy what there is.

Cars look great, good to see you post again. Was wondering how the Firebird was going. I need to fly in and stay for a couple of months so I could hang out at your shop and learn how to do the metal fabricating. Beautiful.

MORE FALCON PICS!

I need details, specifically wheel/tire set-up and some side pics. Pretty Please! It is next to impossible to find 60's Falcons running large diameter wheels. I am wanting to go with 18/20s on my 65 but without any go-bys I am alittle nervous they will look ridiculous. :willy:

You need to remove all the stock wheel house etc,both the falcons we are doing are running 4 bar systems and independent front end systems.
We basically built the cars around the wheels.

Shane, thanks for the pointers, I figured as much and thus I am going with a TCI IFS up front and a modified triangulated 4-link out back to get the clearance. I have not ordered the wheels yet but anticipated having to do allot of sheet metal "adjustments."

Do you happen to have a few side shots with the big wheel combos you could throw up, it would be greatly appreciated. Having shown two Falcons makes you an instant expert given how few of these cars have been set-up PT style.:bow:
