Well our project is moving along ( a bit slowly) - Should have suspension hanging soon along with the 5.2L Voodoo placed for some fitment
Mike Maier is crushing it on the parts and engineering

When I talked to Mike about my panhard bar setup, he told me a tiny snippet about your car, but it’s so much cooler! Mike makes some nice stuff, for sure.

After changing to a trunk gas tank fill setup, I was getting a lot of fumes inside the car. So, I bit the bullet and added a II MUCH VSR Vent System to remedy the problem.

I will be adding this to my car also as I had similar issues.

You’ll be amazed at how well it works. I got to the point that When I parked the Falcon, I’d open the trunk. But then my 40x50’ shop would it stink like gas. That’s all GONE!

I used to listen to the tank popping in and out in the summer while the car baked in the garage; it sounded kind of like somebody giving the quarter panel a good slap. I've got about the most convoluted tank ventilation system now, but it works. The main thing was getting a -8 rollover valve in the top of my tank, then giving the vapors a sufficient landing place; we had some good discussion about what works with Sean's Volvo project. A modern fueling system makes this problem way worse . . .

Drove the Falcon to a couple of shows yesterday with no issues or weird smells.

After driving the car some more this weekend & my wife driving it...her immediate response after driving it was, “its fast, handled good, but the brakes stink...fix them”. So, I ordered 13” 6-piston Wilwoods, 7/8” booster, proportioning valve etc today.

Finally got the Wilwood brake kit, master cylinder, proportioning valve, etc. started on a dry fit on the brake kit and the inner bearings are the wrong I.D. Spoke to a ‘tech’ guy from Wilwood and now feel dumber

I think I’ve figured out how to fix it though.

Gotta admit that the new brakes should certainly work better! 12.88” rotor & 6-piston caliper vs. 10” Rotors and a 1-piston caliper.
