Flat 12 Gallery's "Ronin" '63 Ford Falcon on Forgeline GT3C Concave Wheels
Like a samurai without a liege lord? Jeff Allen and the team at Flat 12 Gallery built their “Ronin” 1963 Ford Falcon to be a multi-faceted racecar capable of competing in a wide variety of events and formats. It’s powered by a Roush-supercharged 5.0L Coyote and rides on Baer brakes, 305/35ZR18 Nitto NT01 tires, and 18x9 Forgeline GT3C Concave wheels finished with Matte Graphite centers & Black Pearl outers!

I really like this build and the look with the wheel and tire combo. It's very aggressive and powerful looking. I just don't see how the fenders don't kill the tires though when hitting a bump or going around a corner hard. Do they raise it up or does it ride that stiff?

No power steering either. They ran the car at Optim and it was not competitive despite having enough power. They have a bit to learn about autox and road racing.
It is leaf sprung in the rear and did not appear to be c-notched so I don’t think the tires will hit in the rear. Maybe had 1.5” bump travel.
