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.

Rocker arm rear suspension, that is trick. Looking forward to more progress photo's.

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 [emoji15]

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. [emoji1787]
