Finally sitting on the ground!

[Lowfast]

Huge moment for me.... FINALLY HAVE IT SITTING ON ALL FOUR WHEELS!!!! First time it has been back on the ground since a year and a half ago when I rolled it into the garage to begin the tear down. The pictures do not do it justice, in my small gagrage I could not get a really good angle to show how low and wide it looks. I love it!! Also love how fat the rear tire looks under the small body of the Falcon. In final form the front will be about another half to inch lower, the rear is sitting perfect.

Next up I will get it up on the cribbing and build subframe connectors and other reinforcement for the chassis. I noticed just how much of a wet noodle the chassis is when setting it down on the ground, man does it flex around. Then I will move on to replacing the floor pans and shoehorning in the 3v 4.6 and TR3650.

I have to shout out a special thanks to Jason and TCI for the trick suspension and the awesome customer support, I decided to modify just about every part they sent me, in hind sight I should have had them just send me everything as an unwelded kit. I ended up cutting most things apart and then reconfiguring it to fit the car and accomodate the wide tires.

[Jay Hilliard]

great stance...you dont see Falcons very often. Keep pics coming.

[mexMan]

Looks good! Great stance, I bet the finla result is going to be really cool.

[mrr1999]

I agree. Great stance on a rarely seen car. Nice work.

[Lowfast]

Thanks. The second I set it on the ground I knew I hit the stance I was going for. Stuffing a 245 up front and a 315 out back is common place for the camaro crowd but was quite the challenge on the little Falcon. Can't wait to get it running and find a stocker to take a picture of the two side by side.:D

^^ Jody said it!

[Lowfast]

Thanks guys. As stupid as it is I find myself staring at it when I walk by the back door to the garage. It is a sickness:lol:

[wellis77]

I understand exactly how you feel. Looks great!

[jarhead]

Nice! I have had two Falcons, a 64 and a 65.

Do you have a build thread?

[Lowfast]

No build thread on LG but do have one over on PT.com. Look up project "chicken nugget".

[BanditDave]

Looks really good man...love the fat rear tire, nailed that stance!

[Lowfast]

Thanks. The project has now been at a stand still the past few months. Work and family things, plus the holidays, have pulled me from the project. And frankly it is cold as all get out right now so the motiviation to work out in the garage is running low. Once we get past Christmas I plan to man-up and get back out and make some progress.
