Thee favorite day...:cheers:

I love these little round nose falcons.

A bud in high school built one with a 302/toploader, what a terror with 2 teenagers in it.

hay Brian your missing a floor and fire wall.;PokeLOL

this thing will be a pretty cool ride. you might have to start a new thread on all the intelligent comments you get like your 6 door.

what do you plan doing to the motor? keeping it mostly stock or all out.

the rear fenders on that remind me of the early bronco rear fenders, there meant for stock tires and that's it. have you thought of cutting them a bit like most of the bronco guys do? it would take the classic look away but the tire would fit the fender a little more.

im not "missing" them lol, I have the bracing and some of the sheet metal.
I just need to do it!
ill get all sorts of BS, im sure of it, but ive heard it for the past 15 years lol
my plans for this engine are to use up all of the spare parts I have.
ive got BDcarrillo sticks and a clapped out pump LOL
I want to do twin GP38's on this.
headers, use my custom intake, ill prolly run it without an innercooler for now.
the big thing is to get the floor and firewall done.
then the RSK. after that, doing the bar min to get it running, and driving around the yard.

I WILL NOT MODIFY THE REAR WHEEL OPENING.
I like that ranchero look, if I want bigger tires, ill re-do my suspension lift.

Friday im doing a 4" lift on the sooper ******, and then I don't HAVE to work on my vehicles everyday.
I can leisurely go out to the shop inbetween kicking the kids and smackin the woman (on the ass)
odds are that I will spend more time in the shop because this is a project I WANT to do,
the past 2 years ive been working on vehicles that ive HAD to get done.
NOW ITS PLAY TIME!!!!!

having to deal with business all day, I didn't get much done.
but I got the outline of the firewall complete.
tomorrow I will be adding some bracing in for the seat mounts
and then its time to lay some 14 gauge and plug welds.
yes 14 ga. a little thick, but this thing could use some extra weight.

its looking good.:Thumbs Up

it looks like a good amount of the engine will be past the firewall and into the cab area. will it make doing any engine work not possible or very difficult? kind of how a 6.0 is?
