In other words if you and Fred scared me I wouldn’t scream... I’d suck it up and cry later in the dark!!

Falcon report-
Roll cage is trimmed up and mostly fit. Learning new skills by the day!
Tube notching, angle notching and welding for strength AND looks is new to me. I picked up a Lincoln Mig 140 welder and I’ve been practicing a lot. Almost ready for the final installation. That will be a good day!
In the mean time I picked up the battery rear relocation kit, drive shaft loop and a Canton oil cooler kit.
Rocking and a rollin!

Been quite a while since I updated this thread so here we go:
The roll cage is almost complete, installed breather cans on the engine and rear end, installed the big Lincoln front brakes and finally got the track wheels. 15x7 Americans. Still need some track rubber.
I’ve gotten more parts than I can list but as they go on, pics will come.

Thanks everyone! It’s been fun for sure!
Hey Fred I’ll be running American Racing 15x7 Torque Thrust D’s. Nothing ground breaking but a good ol classic racing wheel. I’ll have to see how big I can go on the rubber and what I have to do to the wheel wells to make them fit. I’m thinking Goodyear Blue Dots in 6-15 size or Hoosiers which are metric 225’s or so.
